alright; so basically i just need to vent but was wondering if my school is the only one or if other students feel the same way!
I am currently at the end of my third year and not really enjoying school right now to begin with. A lot of the classes we are taking are very specialty oriented but they make us do a lot of busy work (papers on public health problems such as obesity ... hey are we back in high school???) and proficiencies for stuff that 95% of the students will never do (very specialty low vision and strab management)
But the real reason i am so frustrated is because i found out today that 2 of THE BEST doctors are leaving our school. Why? one might ask????
because they actually care about the students and patient care and try to get us to be the best doctors we can be.
One of these doctors is hands down the smartest doctor at our school, has helped institute getting teaching tubes in our clinic (Yes thats right; the school didnt want teaching tubes because they are not "aesthetically pleasing",... who gives a *&$^%*# about TEACHING the students), teaches you how to bill properly and at the end of the day doesnt care if we sold 25 pairs of glasses with AR but rather cares that all his patients are getting the best treatment for them
OBVIOUSLY the administration doesnt give a damn about the students and really doesnt care about if we learn how to be a good doctor...
I just dont know what to do; a very big part of me just wants to go to the administration and say; "hey i am sick of your games"
it is sooooo obvious that our school is ONLY about making money; and if they happen to teach us something it is only by accident
and what did they leave us? one of the 'older' staff doctors that the one that is leaving doesnt know how to put on a gonio lens (i had to show him) and does worse BIO than me ( and i really dont think i am at the top of my class)
