GMATT!!! That's great!! I guess I'll be seeing you in a few days 🙂 I'm in Phila now, but heading back to DC in a few hours because I have to work tonight and tomorrow (bartending)....fun for me right? lol. Wow, that's a lot, but we'll be in this PARP prog together I guess. Go figure 🙂 I know what you mean about the vacay, but we'll have a two week break before orientation, and we still get to enjoy the 4th!
Like gmatt said, it's a pre-matric program, where we take anat, biochem, and immunology. There's study skills sessions, time management stuff, and in the past I think there was also clinical exposure. There's a test/quiz every other week, they offer dorms and they provide a stipend for the prog (paid out at the end). It's taught by faculty and those in c/o 2011 who earned honors in these courses (njbmd did this when she was at HUCM). They offer tutoring too (I think). From what I've heard in the past several years no one has had a problem completing the program, and more importantly it really gives the participants an advantage going into the first year because we are exposed to the hardest first year classes. I was told someone in parp from the 2nd or 3rd yr class is like #1 in their class. Not to mention we all get to bond early and start finding our way around the yard. 🙂
gmatt don't forget to join the FB group. There's about 65 of our classmates already on there! See you in a few days and travel safely!
