Check out the new SMU faculty member who is/was the lead researcher for IBM. This certainly is a good catch for SMU and whatever department he will be teaching in.

I once studied under a leading organic chemist who graduted from dartmouth university first in his class with a 4.0 average. He went on to be a thinker for IBM earning an average salary of >200,000 running hundreds of his own projects and research.....wait a tic.....that was my swim coach.....:D
anyways, nice catch

Yeah, he is very humble. Do you think he's gonna kill us on Thursday's exam? I hope not. He seems to understand that we are medical students and not math majors. We'll see...

some of us will kill ourselves for not getting up on this one sooner! (for all you literalists out there--you know who you are--we will NOT ACTUALLY kill ourselves or attempt to harm ourselves in any manner)
i hate to say it, but since i've had stats before, I've sorta blown this class off. I don't think I'm the only one in that boat, but...
that being said, does everyone have their calculators ready?

To apply my biostats knowledge: 4 Questions out of 350 Questions = Not statistically significant! :lol:

You will be using stats all your life. People don't realize how important a good knowledge of biostats is for practice. Medicine is based on studies. If you can't interpret studies, and know what is a good study and what is a bad one, you will suck as a doc. There is more to med school than just the boards. G

No, but I think it is important to have an understanding of where you get "significance" from. I recently read a study, and thought it was underpowered. Funny, when I calculated the p value myself, I didn't get the same number as the authors. If I just took their word for it, I would have just accepted whatever they said. I used a T-test. G

Why do you post such rhetoric? He may, but why put words into his mouth? What it most likely means is that he would like to retire to the islands, and SMU offered him a great way to supplement his income.
You guys who are all sunshine and balloons about SMU are probably going to do more to hurt the school in the long run. I think SMU is a good school, but you guys go way overboard. You are like cheerleaders on Ecstasy. Sometime what you say makes no sense at all (see above).

Actually, I spoke with Dr R today, and he acknowledged that he remains a consultant with IBM. He reiterated that he has hopes of integrating medical and other technology into the curriculum at SMU. From what I gather, his connections and resources may allow for some of that to happen. I do recognize, though, that retention of someone of his caliber will depend upon a multiplicity of factors--some of which are of no control of the University. He spoke of nothing specific regarding any plans, and he merely indicated that he has ideas that could be beneficial to any school--medical or otherwise.

Um yeah, I did re-read your post and his as well. You both made ASSUMPTIONS which happens on these message boards each and every day. Check your own board out if your in doubt of that. As for scarying people away, I doubt that. People tend to want to go to a school where they feel wanted and people are more positive than negative (hence the half-full vs. half-empty theory). If you doubt that just take a look at how many people have been scared away from Ross because of their message board. Oh yeah, and that is an assumption but I can say that because it sure scared me away however, the warm welcome coming from this board made me feel right at home. It seems to be pulling in alot of other visitors as well. :lol: Your welcome to join our lovely group of people at anytime. We love EVERYONE!

I'm an R2 in EM, so I've seen tons of really funny/interesting things. But this forum is by far the most amusing creation that I've come across in the past two years. After reading a few posts, it's easy to point out who the main characters in this drama commercial are. I won't mention any names, but if you read one or two posts you'll be able to easily identify the one student that probably was accepted only because he's an online forum advertising genius. A few more that think that smu gave birth to them, and anyone who says anything that doesn't beam a bright sunshine on smu gets assaulted. It's kind of like watching elementary school kids play in the park, and then one of them says "your adidas shoes are cool, but I like how nike's look better." So the other kid gets really mad and starts screaming and yelling to prove to everyone that the shoes he has are way cooler than any other shoes, and eventually a fight breaks out.
All of you smu worshipers, leave it alone. Don't ruin the name of the school, or give it a bad reputation. Sbturner....this is not a cult, save the school some embarassment and stop attempting to make the school seem like such a great place, best people, best professors, best lifestyle, etc. A school will only become successful if both the school and the students do their part. The students responsibility is to receive a good education and become good physicians. Not a single medical director or anyone important reads any of this crap that is on this forum. The only way to establish a good name for the school is to go out into the real world and become a good physician.

And I think he taught for a day or two b/c one of our current path teachers is leaving after round 3 of tests. Anyhow, he seems nice and always happy.

DrMikey,
I suggest you let people do what they want to do. If they want to "worship" a school that gave them a chance to succeed, let them do so.
You should be worshipping SGU because you got in there with a GPA of 2.7. You have no room to talk about, instead you should thanking your lucky stars for getting into a Carib med school. Odds are, even with your "33" MCAT and low GPA, no US school would've given you the chance.
You seem to be pretty big on yourself, throwing out the fact that you got higher or equal to a 225 on Step 1 and doing an ER residency (which I thought ER residencies were supposed to be a little tougher to get into than that). There again, you should be "worshipping" that ER for giving you a chance to become an ER doc. Your 225 is around an average score (Avg is around 217) and SMU students have scored over 250 on a number of occassions.
Yes PD's do come on here and check out these forums for you info.
Some of these people, like Sbturner, kinda overdo it with their cheerleading (we're being Politically correct..no "worshipping" allowed), but you have no room at all to talk about people who are thankful to be giving a chance to fulfill their dreams at becoming a physician.I think your shots at the students and the school is uncalled for. What does it matter to you?
If you dont like the SMU site, stick to SGU and do some cheerleading over there.

Haha. Once again you guys have been able to outperform yourselves. You’re completely correct, I’m bashing SMU. My comments on how some people on this forum need to stop advertising and making the school seem like a cult is greatly uncalled for. In fact, things like this should be promoted. This is the best way to establish a reputation for SMU as the leading school in the Caribbean, or better yet, as sbturner put it “SMU-the best school in the world”.
Seriously, think about your actions before you commit them. You want to know how I got into SGU? I had a 2.7 overall, however, that was my gpa that included all the credits from classes that I failed and then re-took. If I was to apply to osteopathic schools I would have had a 3.4 gpa. I had 210 credits completed, and the last 60 (one calendar year) with a 3.5 gpa (1/2 of the credits were upper level bio courses). For the last 90 credits I had a gpa of ~3.3, and a 33 on the MCAT that I studied for about two weeks. I should not be “worshipping” SGU, or the program director for accepting me. Caribbean medical schools exist because they are a source of profit. Most Caribbean schools do not give you a chance, they accept you because you give them $$$. Some of the established schools (sgu, auc, ross) have a more selective admissions process, but they are still for profit. I am thankful and glad that sgu accepted me and I was able to pursue my dream of becoming a physician, but it wasn’t handed to me because I look good wearing dockers. I worked hard to get accepted to medical school, and even harder in med school. The only mistake I made was not giving U.S. schools a chance. I probably would have been accepted some place, or maybe not.
If I was big on myself, I would post my usmle stats in every post. It would be my signature, and everyone would know what I scored. I posted my stats in one of the posts because I thought it could be useful to the original poster. Before you start attacking me because I made a few comments on how ridiculous some SMU students are, don’t insult someone who is trying to help. The only thing I was trying to do was to point out that there are a few people that advertise SMU. Read some of the posts, it really does seem like some of the people on this forum are treating the school as a cult. Maybe they are doing this because they think that these actions will increase the popularity of the school, which in turn benefits them. I don’t know, nor do I care. And even if there are a few program directors out of a thousand that actually read this forum, then I’m very certain that comments such as “SMU is #1--- best school on the planet” do not impress them. This isn’t a prep rally for a college football game. And by the way, when I do have some free time and read this forum, I do it because this is a serious decision and having someone to give you info/advise/help on anything that concerns med schools, residency, licensure, etc. could be extremely helpful.

Hey Juni711... when gizmo tries to warn about not eating after 12am, he is only trying to avoid a bad outcome. When I joke about how this forum has a few characters that are communicating with planet imanass, it's only a joke and it's not insulting the school. It's actually the complete opposite, I heard SMU is a good school and a few people could actually make a bad name for it if they're wreckless with their comments. So you see there is a difference, and you didn't have to be a verbal genious to figure that out. But I guess as long as you can discriminate between a heart and a brain you'll get your MD from SMU which you can display on a billboard at Times Square.

Just like one guy may feel like his wife is the best female on the planet. Does that make that individual stupied? My what's wrong with you people? This guy that your referring to loves SMU for giving him a chance.... Where is the problem in that? No one is being hurt by his words so why not just leave him alone? If prospective students come on this board and read what he has to say and run away then fine.... That's THEIR decision. Personally, I don't believe that's going to happen. I find it real funny that complainers come on this board and attack us for defending this school. If we don't have anything negative to say then we are forming a cult and are not giving an accurate prospective on the school. Look, if you don't like the school don't attend, if you have problems with the school voice them. But, by all means, stop complaining about each other and taunting people. Most of the people, if not all, that are putting this guy down doesn't even know him. We are all humans and have our likes and dislikes. Just because one person likes or even loves a school and you don't doesn't make you any better then them. Oh yeah, and for the people that send PM's and threaten others because of their posts.... PLEASE STOP! It's a shame that you guys will one day be taking care of other innocent humans. Have compassion for each other and their personal beliefs instead of convicting them for them. I know that some of you just don't know how to do this and that's sad but for what it's worth at least give it a try. Who knows, you might actually find a new you.

Great post. I think it is mostly a superiority complex. " I am in clinicals and thus, I know more than you do ad everything I say you must listen" kind of thing.

And by the way, when I do have some free time and read this forum, I do it because this is a serious decision and having someone to give you info/advise/help on anything that concerns med schools, residency, licensure, etc. could be extremely helpful.
THAT would be appreciated greatly. Picking on cheerleaders isnt cool though (Sbturner's fair game j/k). :)

That is quite impressive. How did SMU land this one? Does it mean that he blieves in the teaching methods of smu and the curriculum they provide their students? to be frank - yesanswering own questions; aha this perhaps explains how said student believes he can be in two places at once.

man, I wish I could be in two places at one time. Part of me would be in the office getting ready to see this anxious 22 year old, and the other part would be out on the Chesapeake, catching crabs. G

GMaybe you can... 22 yo w/ anxiety d/o secondary to pubic lice -- get your Hawaiian sling (some medicated cream), and you're set! A 2-for-1 SPECIAL!
Yes I confirm the Weizmann institute is in ISRAEL. It i one of the most prestigous research institutes in the world. There have been a number of nobel prize winners comming from this university. I am aware of this b/c a professor of mine back in undergrad came from this university and us students had the same curious questions so we researched it.

Is this distinguished prof only teaching biostats or is the SMU administration looking to expand his role at the school?

Hello Dr. Mikey
Sbturner also says that Dr. R is also good. I HIGHLY doubt that sbturner is in first or second semester. LOOK AT SBTURNER'S JOIN DATE. He is more than likely a 4th or 5th semester student

He's first semester. He's in my class

Sbturner,
You love everything, thats great!! Love is the greatest gift from God. How did you hear about SMU? You seem to know it for a long time, well about a year. Usually students only know it from the last minute because they got rejected into American medical schools.
have a great weekend,
Bye

I don't know about Sb...but if you check my postings, I go back a long way before I was accepted. I researched Caribbean schools in general way before even considering where to apply, just because of the fact I may not get into a US school. Nothing unusual about researching way in advance.

You can't determine what semester a person is in according to their join date. My join date is over a year ago however I surfed this site for about a year before even joining and I'm not even in school yet.

Solo is right, you can't tell anything from the join date. It's already been said, Sb is a first semester! I'd bet my scalp on it! In the spirit of Sbturner I say...St. Matt's is #1!!! :-P

skidoc42,
Just wondering, Why does your signature have your degree and what subject it is and what semester you are and where you live? Kind of freaky, maybe your are showing off you got a bachelors in chem, JK!
I wouldn't necessarily say that SMU is #1, but it is pretty cool, feels like a soap opera, no wait, highschool.
I heard stories of Ross, makes me want to join there. I like the whole 3rd world survival thing, sounds cool to me.

Check out the new SMU faculty member who is/was the lead researcher for IBM. This certainly is a good catch for SMU and whatever department he will be teaching in.
http://www.research.ibm.com/people/r/robson/
ask first and second semesters about him

Come on down to SMU. We would love to have you. SMU is better than Ross all day everyday!!!! Best wishes!!
Now, let me just reiterate what the great skidoc said
