arpy_sharpie Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Hey guys! Medex just changed prerequisites and clinical hour requirements http://depts.washington.edu/medex/applicants/program-prerequisites/masters-prerequisites/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakingpatience Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 Wow they really changed the academic requirements. I wonder what the rational is for requiring 2 English classes. What are the changes to the clinical requirements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlewd Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 2000 instead of 4000 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakeeater12 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Wow! For BCHS, Medex added Microbio and statistics plus biochem, genetic, and social sciences as recommended! Such a huge change > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoped Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Wow they really changed the academic requirements. I wonder what the rational is for requiring 2 English classes.What are the changes to the clinical requirements? I think the English requirments have not changed. It's the micro, stats and chem that are the academic changes. Reducing hours is a mistake in my opinion. For those who may need to take more classes to re-apply I hope you just get in this year!

mkearney Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I'll be doing the RAM event on Saturday! Just general support, as they didn't have a need for EMTs/MAs when I registered. Would have signed up for more days, but we're right in the middle of midterms at the UW. Should be great. The concept sounds pretty remarkable!

sharesmiles Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I do love the concept, such a huge inspiration, all volunteers are wonderful doing this. Our LEP clients deeply appreciated the opportunities. I'm doing interpretation offsite but I'll be onsite at the Key on Sat AM & Sun PM after my night shift tomorrow :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlynneg Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 The RAM event was amazing! ALL the patients are so thankful. Saw so many tears of joy today. I worked 14 hours at the event today and in 2 days they have provided a million dollars in service! Truly satisfying to be part of it today.

sharesmiles Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Jlynne, what kind of help you done? As offsite interpreter, I was able to assist only during MDs visits, maybe more opportunities tomorrow & Sun for onsite. Many great stories shared & many great things happened.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk They keep the machines plugged in when they can and RAM had their own wifi established to assure we had a strong connection for ALL the computers that we had to use. If they don't use u for interpreting they will def find a place for u. Every point of care is incredibly busy! I won't be there tomorrow or Sunday but have a great time!

mkearney Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 What a fantastic experience! I was in the dental queue all day, helping keep the order and flow before patients were brought back to dental triage. The demand for dental treatment was much higher than I thought it was be. I believe at our busiest time, there were 150 people waiting in our section. And it was taking 1.5-2 hours to get brought back - on top of the waiting the patients had already done to even get into the event in the first place. The worst part was having to inform them that we were no longer able to do root canals, flippers, crowns - then later no more fillings or cleanings. Needless to say there were plenty of frustrated folks. Nonetheless I was taken aback by the entire thing. The patients and volunteers were unwaveringly helpful, energetic, and friendly despite being exhausted. Keeping my fingers crossed they'll try to do it again next year! Really great to see you other MEDEX prospectives were taking part as well. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
