thx again, both of you! also 1BSO and 1A00, I heard their not really courses, right? and is that why there is no real info on them, (i mean they are not on the timetable)?

oh, ya you can take courses outside the COLLAB list, but since we're in mo-mac we have to take 9 units of COLLAB electives and 9 units of mcmaster electives, thats what it says on their website. heres the link http://registrar.mcmaster.ca /CALEN...nt/pg1358.html

Yeah they're just safety courses you have to do... las year one was online through ELM (so A2L thi year) and the other was a WHIMIS course you had to go to



and about anatomy, that's right... you have multiple lectures, and lab/tutorial on alternating weeks...

thanks again, its starting to make sense now. one last thing. are first year students put in clinical placements, and if so how can i choose the hospital i'd like to work in?

Clinical first year is classroom based... so you have a weekly class with a small group (same as your PBL group members)...and you learn the basics and assessments and such...and a couple times during the semester you will have standardized patients come in (these are basically actor patients... from around the community who get paid to come in and pretend they are patients)... and you practice more on them... the other weeks you go over the material with your tutor and practice on each other in the class room..

going into second year, we have a couple weeks of clinical in the classroom to refresh and learn some new stuff, and then we go out into the hospitals...

we don't get to choose our placements at all.. they're assigned... but they say that if says you live in milton and you get a placement in welland, and you find someone in niagara region who got a placement near you, y ou can request to switch...but its up to y ou to find that person.

yup, we take only 1 elective first year and its got to be in first semester. you can take a collab or a mac elective, its up to you. and pamela, we have virtually the same schedule. i'll be seeing ya in school!
megan, i noticed what you said about having clinical and hlth sci and psych all in one day. on my wednesday i have the 4 hour (?! seriously!?) clinical, then an hour break, they hlth sci for an hour, then psych. sound like a recipe for burn out? it just really works in my schedule, tho :-)

yeah no it wasn't the fact that she had them all in 1 day... she had like 7 hours of class straight lol

if you have a break.. youll do fine.. it'll still be a long day, but having that break will really help

lol i see...doesnt mac have zip cars or something like that? cars for rent that just hang out in the parking lot till somebody wants em? that would be super sweet for clinicals second year (i am car-less)
