Im not looking or asking for leather couches or padded seats (even though its ridiculous that we have the crap seats we have) just something to improve our medical preparedness

1) new lockers

2) dummy doll

3) online medical subscription

First I would rather have new lockers to put my stuff when I am in the library studying.

A dummy doll does no good, They are expensive and books and partners are better. Some people learn better in groups

Online medical subscription - Nobody would use it! maybe 2-3 students doing research. Otherwise someone may look at 1 article in 1 year when studying or when a particular subject needs to look at research on a specific receptor or something that would not be on Step 1,2,or 3 anyway.

So what else would you be suggesting...

It is really good to hear all this...

Just thought it would be nice for the school to update all this info on their website (especially the new hospital affiliations) so that we all can see the words before our very eyes. Hope the updates come soon enough...
