Current M2
I was suspicious about this when I saw that to maintain some of their scholarships you have to stay in the top 50% of the class :/
What do you mean they lost their relationship with Henry Ford to MSU? I thought students still rotate at Henry Ford.
I work there and it’s really bad XD. You can’t even send emails about the matter. One thing that y’all should know about Wayne State is that they are downplaying the situation but it is in fact really serious. However, students should not worry about the matter. You’ll get your degree just fine. The issue is mostly with people employed throuhh Wayne State but working at dmc. Many were forced to resign and cut ties with wsu and join cmu. Kinda sucks that CMU is now partnered with dmc.
Wayne’s been dealing with an ineffective board of elected governors (to say the very least) for years. Since the DMC was bought by a for-profit enterprise based out of Texas years back, they’ve struck deals with Central Michigan and MSUCOM (likely for higher than what Wayne was willing to pay/give benefits).
^as someone else who’s been dealing with this, yep that’s basically it.
Do you know how students are affected
How does this whole situation with DMC and Henry Ford affect medical students education? Especially incoming M1s and their future rotations?
I feel you 🙁 hopefully you hear back from the waitlists! Sucks that Wayne has to deny students like us who truly care about this city... Just shows how competitive this thing is becoming.
Thanks for the reply. I did get the impression the situation was being downplayed, but it’s good to know it probably won’t effect students rotating at DMC that much. It’s still disappointing that Wayne seems to be weakening its ties instead of strengthening them though.
That I can’t tell you but I did notice a massive reduction of Wayne students at DMC doing their rotations while I was stationned at harper and children’s. . It used to be filled with wayne students...there’s way more MSUCOM students nowdays. In addition, I did notice that many wayne students were having trouble getting approved for research opportinities through dmc. Seems like they are giving you guys a harder time to get approved but I see where they are coming from. Many students would get approved for research at dmc for a few months but would keep the perks for their 4 years. (FREE PARKING, FREE 24/7 study rooms, Lounge and total access to the hospital).
I’m sure you’ve googled it by now, but MSU CHM and Henry Ford signed a contract for a 30 year academic partnership in January. I do not know if this will affect Wayne med student rotations there in the immediate future because it will probably take some time for MSU and Henry Ford to hash out all the details, but I just thought it was something worth considering. It appears there isn’t much transparency around the whole situation so it’s hard to know the extent of the consequences for future students, if there are any at all.
That’s exactly it... the lack of transparency... no one truly knows whats going on LOL. So don’t bother sending an email to the front desk people cause I can guarantee you that they don’t know either.
I think OUWB has their own issues on the thread so I think it rly depends on whether u want small school vs big school and like rural vs. urban medicine etc wayne and ouwb are super different!
Why? I thought msuchm was more renowned!
My parents live within 10 miles of the school and my spouse prefers metro Detroit to East Lansing. TBH, I like MSUCHM's curriculum more because there's no block exams, we have a lot of free time, and I prefer the small learning groups to attending lectures.
lol same
My access ID is a random jumble but when I go to my email from the academica site it shows my email as my [email protected]
Wondering the same. It's been quiet for a while. Based on last year's thread there was very very little movement in April. Most happened mid May, but again we already had a very huge WL movement on April 1st so there might not be much movement if they over-accepted or people didn't have more than one A to choose from. That being said, I hope I am proved wrong.
Sooner they roll them out.. less chances of candidate declining the offer. So from their point of view they should be issuing as soon as any seat become available. Those who are very keen now may not be available very late in the cycle.
portal. I never got an email. I think someone else in this thread who got a scholarship bigger than the board of governors scholarship got an email though.
I'm a current Wayne State M2. The MSU deal mostly involves an oncology research center and allied health professions. I believe MSU will only be getting like 30 MD/DO clerkship spots, which with Henry Ford's size should not seriously affect WSU. WSU also has secured additional clerkship sites in the area, so there should be enough rotations for everyone.
Did it show the same day or was there a delay?
I think I saw somewhere that there may be another scholarship decisions in May?
Thank you so much, I am an idiot
Yes this is true! Next batch is going out first week of May (from what I was told). Would be nice to know before we have to narrow everything down though lol
They are planning on having in person classes as of now. I do not know the exact number of in person sessions, but on a guide for M1s that is posted in the Facebook group, there will be 1-2 CBL and PBL for each unit, typically at the end of the unit. There will be occasional TBL, which are interdisciplinary, but not every unit will have them. There is also anatomy lab for M1 and histology lab (I think this is done at the computer lab) for each unit as well. Lectures are not mandatory
Like a shark 😎
Like death
As someone with multiple WLs with no As I feel that LOL. Last two weeks went by so slowly that I could literally feel myself aging by every second
Same here buddy, 4 WL strong😭 Hopefully we’ll see some movement in May.
