I think parking passes cost about 80 bucks a semester. But this could have changed. Actually, you only need a parking pass to park on campus between the hours of 8-5. Many people park in the neighborhoods that run near campus. This could end up saving you 80 bucks if you do go this route. Of course, the 80 dollar price might go up this coming year. But like I said, after 5 the parking garage is open to park in for free.

$80 doesn't sound too bad for a parking pass. I know I'll probably be rushing to get to class in the mornings so it'll be nice to know I have garage parking everyday. Hopefully it won't be too much more than that. Thanks for the info.

So when are we all going to meet up before school, orientation, and bio-chem prep course starts? House party... I think we need to invite some upperclassmen too so if anyone is interested post on here and I will give you the info as soon as I get it.

It has been taught by a tutor in the past who was a third year or 4th yr. I think she will be teaching it again. She rocks.

Parking passes were 80 dollars/year this past year. I don't know anyone that parked in the neighborhood, but I guess you could. IMO it's totally worth the 80 dollars to not have to find a place to park on the morning of a test. You can purchase your pass at orientation.
As for the biochem course, it is taught by a student. If it's Amy again, she's currently a 4th yr so she will have graduated by then. She is very smart and has a lot to offer. If it's not her, I'm sure it will be another student who did well.

I've been told unofficially that the Biochem course is 2 weeks long and starts 2 weeks before orientation...So I think we should try and get together sometime near the end of June....I'm currently trying to get a list of everyone's emails so that I can put the word out to get a count as to how many ppl are interested in doing something so that we can make further plans...

Hey all, I asked the people in charge of the biochem class about dates and all and here is what the helpful lady replied back to me. Hope this helps. I will be taking the biochem review by the way. here is the reply:
Nothing specific has been decided about the Biochem course this year; however, I can give you the specifics of last year and it's safe to assume it will be close to the same.
Dates: Starts two weeks prior to orientation and runs until Friday before Orientation (for you will be July 9-20) Orientation starts July 23.
Time: Every morning from 9:00-12:00
Cost: $63.00 (Checks or cash only. Due 1st day of class.)
When Dr. Dubin gets back from vacation next week, I'll confirm this is still the same and send something out to the class.

Just so I'm clear, this class is not graded right? If you sign up but don't complete the course, will it be counted against you in anyway?

i was just wondering if anyone knew anything about spanish language opportunities during the semester? I know some schools have medical spanish groups that meet during lunch or something and I was wondering if TCOM had something similar? I know some spanish and I don't want to lose it by third year.
Thanks

We have a ULAMS club that gives spanish classes over lunch every now and then. I think you just have to buy a little book and then sign up for the meetings. It might also be a good idea to be a member of the club. They have good opportunities to volunteer and use your spanish.

Yes, the Latino/a organization (ULAMS) has classes that I've enjoyed where we split up by level of expertise and those that are fluent teach the others in an informal conversational way. So worth the dues to join b/c they give you a medical Spanish/English dictionary that's pretty nice.
Also, our school requires that we do a certain amount of community service hours through out the year. A lot of the opportunities have a lot of interaction with a Spanish speaking population. So you could always practice there as well.
Lastly, the Christian Medical Association normally organizes a mission trip down to Mexico every Spring Break, which of course is another opportunity for practice.

Does TCOM have a policy on deferring med school for a year? I have been wondering if I should take a year off...
Anyone know of any free clinics associated with the school or else in fort worth?
closest one i found was http://www.missionarlington.org/services/mclinic in arlington. I know A&M has the martha's clinic, so it'd be neat to have something like that affiliated with tcom as well.

I was just letting everyone know the school has started a forum for the class of 2011 on their message board system. You should have received an email about it. Thought it may be a good idea to move our conversations over there so we could include those classmates who don't use student doctor. I also think some current students will respond there to help answer all of our questions.
Hope this helps!
Hope this helps!
Most of us are on Facebook (TCOM class of 2011) and on the TCOM student forums.
You will find some good posts about apartments, etc... on each of those forums.

The forums are at dosaf.hsc.unt.edu
There is an e-mail address at the bottom of that page of someone who can probably help you get signed up.
