LOL everyone on SDN got a 40. and a 260 on the USMLE. It cracks me up sometimes. Medical students are such bad gunners. Look into Firecracker.me . I didn’t use it for the mcat but they give a free month. I used it for my boards and I found it helpful.
Do lots of practice questions while timing yourself.
Health, The Dr I was refering to has an Internal Medicine practice in NJ. He’s been practicing for quite a while, as far as I know. Again, there is nothing against PA’s, just Dr’s have better training. PA’s are needed, but Drs are needed more.
Health, I spoke to more than one Dr about PA’s. One even told me that he would rather hire a below average Dr than a PA even though he would have to pay the Dr double what he would pay a PA. This is not a shot at PA’s. PA’s are needed. However, Drs are have more training and are needed more, especially now with the upcoming physician shortage.
Health, I’m not sure you corrected any misconceptions. I am sure there are some good PA’s out there, but I have been to some and I was not impressed. And once someone thinks about it, you cant compare a Dr to a Pa. One has a minimum of 7 years of training, the other 2 and 1/2.
Last time I checked, it was only Drs who practiced medicine….
Touro’s medical schools are pretty competitive with the other med schools out there. It is also a good place for someone who doesnt want to worry about taking tests on yom tov. And for anyone who thinks that the med schools are inferior to others, check out the match lists and compare them to other schools. It would show that the graduates are getting some pretty good residencies. In fact, it would show that Touro is doing better than a lot of other schools that have been around for a long time and are “more prestigious.” For someone frum, it is a very good option.
