Thread: How are the labs?

Hi all, I was just wondering how the labs are in medical school. Are they tested on later, or do you need to make lab reports, or both? What percentage of total study time do they take up?

Just wondering!

I cant wait to complain about scrubs as I get to examine real human bodies and be on my way....

What part of the undergraduate curriculum (i mean the core pre-med reqs) is the most important for med school studies? What subject material comes back to haunt you later and make you wish you studied for understanding, and not just a grade? Just wondering...

Physics.. and math.

I remembered absolutely nothing from my undergrad experience. This was due in part to the fraternity and in part to the fact that I took a year and a half off to work in a bar

Does VO school count? I can fix cars and soon people. I mean; do you want someone who doesn't even know how to check engine oil checking you?
