Pharmacist fail
So disappointing! Watch the video.
"52 percent of 255 chain and independent pharmacies tested sold potentially dangerous drug pairs to reporters without a warning.
Among the seven pharmacy chains tested, CVS had the highest failure rate at 63 percent. Walgreens had the lowest, at 30 percent. Independent pharmacies had the highest failure rate overall, at 72 percent."...

Dental School and Debt
I'm bored and I don't know if anyone's done this on the "Expensive Dental Schools" thread... (thanks @Panis et Circenses) (https://forums.studentdoctor.net/th...usly-expensive-dental-schools-thread.1223909/). I figure it's better than yet another "which school should I go to" thread. Not that those aren't interesting. As a warning, yes, SDN is obsessed with the cost of dental school. These threads pop up all the time, but I wanted to be a...

So you're looking for a job...What should I ask?
It seems I've been approached during my first and second years by various attendings to "keep them in mind" for when I finish. I've been to a few conferences, and various groups strike up conversations to gage my interest. Just wondering about things I should be asking, paying attention to, warning signs etc. Everyone seems to paint a nice picture, but how do you filter out the fluff?
Thanks.

I find it ironic how AACOM implements major policy change overnight, without any prior warning.
I find it ironic how in an effort to be more like the AAMC, AACOM implements major policy change overnight - without any prior warning whatsoever.
Let’s take the new MCAT for example. If I remember correctly, I got notice of the change via email, twitter, facebook, premed advisor, and an array of other channels, all over a year in advance of the change. It is self evident that the AAMC has regard for applicants. And rightly so, applicants invest an astronomical amount of time, money, and...

December NAPLEX Exp.
I took Naplex last week and just found out I passed!
This is my second attempt. I used Rx-Prep, I studied differently this time. I went over the chapter first, paid attention to what caused the disease, any drug can cause or worsen the disease, first / second- line treatment. Then went deeper for each class drug brand/generic, boxed warnings, contraindications, class S/Es , highlight the UNIQUE S/Es, it most likely will be on your exam.
Practice, Practice and Practice! if you have...

WARNING to all Canadian IMG's participating in US Match - Re: J1 Visa and the Statement of Need!
This is a warning to all Canadian IMG's planning to participate in the 2015 US Match with regards to the J1 Visa and the Statement of Need.
Most Canadian IMG's falsely believe that getting a J1 Visa is simply a formality if they succeed in Matching into a US Residency program - this is NOT TRUE!
A requirement for the J1 Visa is that you obtain a Statement of Need from your country of citizenship which states that the specialty you Match into is needed in your country. What most Canadian...

Should've listened to you guys (UCBx = no good)
Well gang, the UC Berkeley Extension is simply not good. Some folks here and elsewhere have warned against it, but I applied in order to balance out school and work.
The rest of this is just ranting / warning to people considering UCBx
There's no doubt that UCBx caters to the full-time working crowd. The classes are a la carte and easy to apply to. Since I have a heavy work schedule and haven't taken my sciences in a long time, I decided to start with General Chem I and the Lab....
