I saw that. It's the same thing as the pdf of the curriculum. Clinical science 1 includes CPR (the physiology, anatomy, pharm, biochme, histo, patho, etc) you know, the good stuff.
I was looking more for the schedule for the students for everything in semester 1. What time is the class (which should be on the syllabus/timetable), what topics are taught each day, etc.
It would be good to have an idea of what to expect, because 8-6 is a long work day especially when they expect an additional 30 hrs/week of independent study along with it.

Thank you. I will sign up for it and get it out the way next week.
There are so many things we need to complete. Found out there is no medical school housing on campus, so we have to find apartments off campus which are in a reasonable distance. Anyone have an idea when MedEdPath holds their meeting regarding housing situation?
Check the 2016 thread, and some of the posts in here. I have expanded on this a few times already, as have a few others. It won't be so much of a problem for incoming classes, but they totally dropped the ball with the first MD class. Things like not releasing a rubric for an assessable research protocol (which is a giant pain in the ass in its own right) until a week ago, ethics being atrocious now that Mal Parker is gone (words I never thought I'd hear myself utter), and lectures being kind of all over the place. From what I am told by the group I tutor, much of the issues regarding clinical science have been fixed because they have a better idea of what is going on based on our feedback. They are supposedly fixing research - for next year (yaay class of 2019 instead), so another issue resolved, and they cut back on a bunch of the required ethics readings after people were losing their **** over the amount of work they were required to do.You mind sharing your experience at UQ and the problems you have with how its run/organized?
Who do you expect to be able to give you such an answer?So what are the average stats of those who have been admitted so far for 2017?

I have as well. Also bought a nib policy through this site. It is much cheaper. They emailed the coverage certificate the same day. Pay using a credit card without foreign transaction fees and save some more
What time frame did you use -- Feb, 1, 2017 to Dec 20, 2018?
just saw it - someone answered it - thanks buddy!Check your "how to accept" guide. It tells you the dates to use. You must have coverage for the entire length of your visa.

Does anyone by chance have information on how the send the decision letters? I interviewed on May 13 in NOLA and a couple of other interviewees already got their acceptances( although at different times).
Any information would be helpful, thanks!
I noticed many people in the facebook group seem to be a bit older than many medical school students. Curious as to why this is?
I thought the average medical student is about 25/26 years old? But to answer your question, I am guessing it is because many have tried 1+ times to get into medical schools in the US but have been unsuccessful. I would imagine it is rare that UQO is a first choice.
Obama stuttering on stage makes me feel better about how my interview went. It was bad, but it wasn't that bad! Who would have thought medical students would be held to higher standards than the president of the USA. I demand a recount.
I'm still waiting. Are you waiting as well? I'm starting to get anxiousWell this round of interviews is over. Anyone still waiting to hear back from the May 13th interviews?
Not really because it's still very early in the process. There's a Facebook group for those accepted and it's only 30 something members out of the full 120. With rolling admissions, it should be any day. I felt good during my interview.I'm still waiting. Are you waiting as well? I'm starting to get anxious
I felt good with my interview too. Really good, except I didn't have s chance to talk about research experience. I guess it was the way the questions were asked, so now I'm kind of beating myself over it.Not really because it's still very early in the process.

Many of the Australians are younger - like 22-24 based on just whom I know. Many of the Americans/Canadians are older, I am 33. As far as UQO students coming as a last resort, that isn't accurate. I can probably give you 20 different answers of why people chose the program just from all of us talking about it. There isn't any one overriding reason, and it sure isn't "couldn't get in anywhere else".
Can anyone comment on if Ochsner accepts non-traditional students? I'd be 31 at the time that I'd start and I'd be bringing my wife to Australia. I'm hoping that won't be considered a negative.
But how many would you saw are freshly out of college? When I toured and went for my interview, most people were in their mid to late 20s.

Also did you tour Ochsner or UQ? The students at Ochsner are 3rd/4th years so they'll be older.
Yeah that's exactly what I meant. They were in their late-20s while I'm I just graduated this year from undergrad. I'm kind of worried that I would be at a disadvantage because I don't have five years of experience on my CV in comparison to most people in the program if the average age is 27.He probably meant that the students he interviewed with seemed older.
UQ-Ochsner has plenty of non traditional students. The age range is literally from 23-24 year olds right out of college to people in their late 30s. I know several students who are married with children and wife either here or back home. I think the oldest person in our class is 41. I can think of several in their early 30s as well.
It is a bit humbling when you are older and have 20 year old Australian students in your CBL who are just blowing you out of the water in terms of knowledge haha.
So all those who've been accepted and paid their deposits - are we just waiting to hear back on all the documents we need to fill out and on how to choose our clinical preference?

The main problem with UQ-O for Y1/Y2 isn't so much the program once you separate the clinical science from the stupid UQ requirements like ethics and research, it is simply figuring out the best way to teach yourself what you need to know for both UQ and for step 1. Fortunately most step 1 stuff is applicable to UQ exams, but not necessarily the other way around.
The absolute best things about the program - self study, students all help each other (notes and slides and other random **** is posted constantly to the FB group), and you get to live in Brisbane for a few years, which is legit the best weather ever. Also play rugby with UQ Med XV.
Me and another friend are still waiting.Anyone who interviewed in May still waiting to hear back?
Me and another friend are still waiting.
Have you guys already filled out FAFSA?
