Hey Gavin, does AZ give you insurance that pays for things such as child births, or do you have to pay for that out of your own pocket?
ItsGavinC said:Oh yeah, it's also my birthday today. To top that off, I'm sick with a cold, and my school basketball team has our first game of the post-season tournament tonight.

How come you are studying for the board so early?

ItsGavinC said:CAVEAT: I'm posting this thread because so little is known about Arizona. Of course, that is to be expected given that it is a brand new school. Other schools, such as Penn & Harvard, may have a foundation of 125 years upon which they stand. The application process can be expensive, so hopefully I can assist some people in making decisions. My goal is not to boast or brag, but to inform applicants about the school. And of course I hope to excite people about the school. If this doesn't interest you then don't read it. If it does interest you then hopefully I can be of assistance.

? We had an open-house party this evening at the home of one of our deans. It was an awesome event and loads of fun. We have a diverse class, and it looks as though the male/female ratio is about 50/50 (although don't quote me on that).
? The President of the medical school was in attendance, as were the provosts of the other schools under the A.T. Still University system (Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine).
? Also in attendance was the dean of UOP, as well as deans for Buffalo, Louisville and Baylor! It really is awesome to see faculty from OTHER schools come out to support this new school. It is also a great symbol of how much faith administrators from other schools have in our new curriculum and our new method of dental education. After all, since when do deans from other dental schools attend welcoming parties for another school (especially if they have never taught or attended that school)?
That's all for now. More updates will be posted in the coming days. Orientation is on Monday, and classes will be following that.
I get lots of PMs asking about the curriculum, so here is a link to it from a previous thread where I explained it:

I'll be sure to let you know how the curriculum works out.
Feel free to PM me anytime. Take care everybody!
