do you guys ever see your semester modules and realize how fucked you are?

[memeyoongi]

Haematology, pharmacology, microbiology and biochemistry in one semester 

 

RIP MY GRADES

[Chantage]

med student? 

[FAAJ]

what is your major 

[amatea]

one of my electives is Hallyu lol

 

I don't think it will tank my grades

[memeyoongi]

med student? 

 

 

what is your major 

 

Biomedical science. I lowkey regret not picking medicine at least I wouldn't have to memorize 1129128 stains and counterstains

[amatea]

what is your major 

 

probs medicine

[memeyoongi]

omg that's so cool 

 

we don't get to choose our modules they're fixed. What's your major?

RIP our grades

at least that sounds more interesting than just medicine

[FAAJ]

Biomedical science. I lowkey regret not picking medicine at least I wouldn't have to memorize 1129128 stains and counterstains actua;

OMG I am actually planning to go for biomedical sciences next year when I graduate from high school. Rip me next year  btw are you planning to go for med school ?

[amatea]

omg that's so cool

considering how one elective is hallyu and the world

 

guess 

 

pretty sure they're letting us off easy with this one bc the non-electives would be hell OR because we have TOPIK to study for 

 

but I love it - it is something I am interested in, I am good with languages AND MOST IMPORTANTLY I can get a high-paying job with it because it is "~~~exotic & rare~~~"

my friend took pharmacology she was beautiful when she went in now I don't recognize her lol. She had to take it twice you can't have  a C or its considered failing 

[FAAJ]

probs medicine

is there actually a "medicine major" ??? shouldn't you major in a science major and then go for med school 

[denizen mars]

Biomedical science. I lowkey regret not picking medicine at least I wouldn't have to memorize 1129128 stains and counterstains

 

like, the things they put on slides to tell different species? I thought there were only like a few of those...at least that's what I learned in intro class. yuck :P

 

we also stain some slides in geology (well, only with carbonate rocks I think) but they didn't make us memorize them

in my country you just have to apply to a medical university

 

the tests are really hard but if you get in you are good to go if you graduate

[Azur]

Last semester : Fiscal Law, Public Finances, Administration Law and Contract Law...I'm still crying just thinking about it

[FAAJ]

lucky you. here in America you first have to get a bachelor's degree in any science major, take MCAT test and then apply for med school. A VERY LONG PROCESS

Damn tht's scary

 

OP you're classes made me just piss myself and have a panic attack

[denizen mars]

it doesn't end there either. my housemate last year had her MD degree and is doing her residency. firstly, she got like one day a week off, and on the days she was on woke up at like 4am, worked until 7pm, came home and studied some more until like 9pm, and then had to wake up and do it all again for 6 days in a row. Had to work christmas and thanksgiving, too. And apparently there are multiple additional board exams even after you graduate (hence studying). Makes me glad I'm no doctor (I wouldn't be suited for multiple other reasons...but I didn't realize it was quite that crazy until I lived with one). 

[Sdm]

Biochemistry is shit. Cology and microbiology are ok. Never had haematology so Idk

[memeyoongi]

OMG I am actually planning to go for biomedical sciences next year when I graduate from high school. Rip me next year  btw are you planning to go for med school ?

Nope, a lot of people who don't get the grades for medicine do biomedical first and then do a bridging 2 years for medicine.

I'm not interested in medicine though, I want to be a pharmaceutical sales after my MBA or maybe become a pathologist or something. You?

what are you studying? 

 

And yeah mine is mostly for specimen though like fixatives for brains, eyes or bacteria and different stains show different things like haematoxylin stains the nucleus and another one stains the flagella of certain bacteria etc. You're lucky you don't have to remember this stuff

well my degree is in geosciences and I sort of 'specialized' (i.e., did research) in paleontology and sedimentology. I've done the intro bio sequence and a couple extra courses, but it's certainly not for me. we have to remember other things but I think there's way more rote memorization in bio than there is in geo these days. plus I find the subject matter more interesting, so...lol

I am actually interested in medicine. I want to become a doctor. But I have get first a bachelor's in any Science major before applying to a medical school. Which is why I am thinking about majoring in biomedical Sciences. I first thought about biochemistry but I guess biomedical is more fun

[exo_cytosis]

Good luck op! Took pharmacology and I'm just glad I survived. My microbiology module has been ok so far (i don't want to jinx it)
