I came upon these forums while losing my mind about school. I was google-ing about the courses I have to take - and YES WE TAKE THE SAME COURSES MEDICAL/PREMED STUDENTS TAKE!
Funeral service education is significantlly harder then med school during it's duration because we have to study all forms of chem/bio/micro in a VERY short period of time, before we progress into more psych/business aspects then venturing off into internships.
Our A&P classes are the same the nurses paramedics etc take. Our chem & micro are the same that people who plan to progress into a specified chem/micro career take.
I get tired of people making stupid cracks like "why do you need to take these courses? Your clients only make it to you when we fail them lol". Hmm... seems like all these brilliant students don't understand embalming is a minor surgery that involves chemicals, with a subject that may be infested with disease! FSE students can also work in hospitals, & pharmacies etc.. or venture off into medical school.
FSE seems to have the highest dropout/failure rate too, more so than med/premed.
Anyway. If it's not obvious I am burned out. I needed to rant. Sometimes I am pissed off with what we have to learn because they do not seem to emphasise these sciences for our funeral service career, sometimes they cram a bunch of PhD BS down our throats that will NEVER apply to our career, & I only think they do it because A) we have insane professors who want to trun EVERYONE into doctors, & B) they want to garner FSE students more respect.
I am one of the stronger students who is pulling through & I will graduate next year. Man I can't wait.
Anyway, my fellow medical students who are suffering - Next time you are in your anatomy lab & have a nice cadaver to study off of: YOU'RE WELCOME!!
