Medical Schools

Medical schools are four years. However, there will be an additional three or more years to complete the internship and residency requirements.

Althought this is not a question, to address the "physical examination and finding of a patien with Bell's Palsy:"

The sensations on the three branches of the trigeminal nerve will be compared on each side of the face, most likely by dragging the fingers of each hand lightly across each side. A positive test result for Bell's Palsy will reveal the the fingers feel "heavier," or are felt more, on one side of the face over the other. The examiner might ask the patient to demonstrate the muscles of the trigeminal and/or facial nerves by doing things such as shutting both eyes as tight as possible and try to prevent the examiner from opening them. The patient will be unable to keep the affected side's eye shut. Smiling or raising eyebrows might be other tests to look for droopiness on one side. The final test result would be a fluroscene test on the affected eye to look for oxygen deficiency (due to the eye not shutting all of the way during sleep).

In medical school, there is no choice of "major": it's medicine! I presume the question refers to Dr. Atkins' undergraduate major.

Yes

try applying ;)

they would look at ALL your high school grades! if they all look like that then maby! its all up to the college.

You may have any undergraduate major from a regionally-accredited institution as long as you complete all pre-medical requirements and complete the MCAT, the admissions test for medical school.

You can obtain this information by going to www.collegeboard.com/splash/ and using the sites College MatchMaker search engine, or you can also click on the related links below which will take you directly to the site. You can research colleges and universities by name, or by programs of study, or by geographical location, size, or combinations of part or all of them etc. The site will provide you with a list of institutions based on your request. It will give you the schools background, accreditation, degree offerings, programs of study, entrance requirements, tuition and fees, room and board, athletic programs etc. and a link to each institutions official web page. Make sure the college or university has a regional accreditation (most important). Practice navigating this site. It will be well worth the time and effort.

Very different answers for St Kitts and Nevis.

St Kitts boasts a collection of medical schools, the bulk of which are either very new (have not had graduating classes) or which are typically considered "second tier" or worse. On St Kitts the school of St Theresa's appears to be closing; there were fewer than a dozen students as of Summer term 2008. The "internet" university does not appear to have ever placed a student in American clinicals, and doesn't seem to have any graduates practicing in the United States. Windsor is a functioning second tier medical school with some clinical rotations in the states and a few graduates. It is often considered a bargain (it's one of the cheapest schools in the Caribbean for both tuition and room and board) and has a reputation as being one of the easiest school to graduate from. It's a good for mediocre students who have connections in the states to do their clinical training. IMHS is a very new school started by the folks who started Ross (the established school in Dominica). It is very new, doesn't have clinicals, doesn't have all faculty hired (as of Summer term 2008) and has no accreditations at this point. It does have a very nice facility and an experienced ownership, but it's anybody's guess whether or not it will pan out. Typically, the first five years of new offshore medical school tend to be a little dicey. There are actually other schools (at least one "phantom" whose purpose and operation is a mystery and one or two other schools that have been approved by never acted upon), but probably these shouldn't be taken seriously.

In contrast to St Kitts, which has allowed the chartering of numerous medical schools, Nevis has only a single medical school which was started at the request of the government. The government approached the operators of Saba's medical school (which has long been considered one of the "big 3" Caribbean medical schools) to open a similar school on Nevis. MUA has been in operation since about 2001, and has been graduating students (meaning having passed BOTH Basic Science AND Clinicals) who have been getting genuine residencies and licensed in many states in the US. MUA has been accredited by New York and has provisional ACCM accreditation (a big deal), and places students entirely in "greenbook" clinical rotations (this is a significant concern-- placing medical students in non-greenbook approved rotations means that graduates cannot be licensed in many states and are ineligible for many residency programs-- this is an important topic that you should look at if you are considering a non-US medical school). MUA graduates are doing residencies in everything from neurosurgery to emergency medicine and are getting licensed. The school has accreditations, access to a loan program, a real campus, cadavers in the gross anatomy lab, a solid and experienced faculty (including professors who have previously taught in American medical schools), a real library, and students passing the USMLE on the first attempt.

At the present time, none of the schools in St Kitts can be said to come close.

Per AMA article found on google, in 2004 Clarence Nicodemus (D.O.) graduated from an Osteopathic Medical school program at the tender age of 61. Great article in which he claims that retirement is the period in one's life when he or she can and should do what they always wanted to do; so for Dr. Nicodemus it was becoming a doctor. Good one on him.

I found on an old SEC filing evidence that in 2006 a Mobetron cost in excess of $562,000. I do not know the current price but given the low volume I would expect it hs not gone down significantly. The question is, how much more expensive is it than $562,000, as the filing suggested a financial institution put that amount of money "toward the purchase" of a Mobetron - suggesting the price is even higher.

All are acceptable. Make sure the class requirements are fulfilled. If you dont know what classes to take, i suggest looking at the schools website of which you plan to attend. I also answered a similar question, i recommend you also look at that question. :) All are acceptable. Make sure the class requirements are fulfilled.

The first Indian school opened on the Pyramid Lake Reservation on

1 March 1878

Say goodbye to your social life. Say hello to hours of studying, volunteering at clinics and hospitals and anywhere else you can get volunteer hours, getting to know the science professors (remember you gotta do research with them), shadowing MDs and a DO if you want to go into Osteopathic medicine, studying, studying, studying, studying, and more studying. For every B you get, your chances of rejection increase. For every A you get, your chances of rejection decrease. If you even get a C or below, you should probably rethink your future career choice.

You first need to get your high school diploma or your G.E.D. Certificate, in order to enter college. Next, you face about 13 years of college, 8 of which includes medical school, internships and residency practice.

Well Im not to sure myself because Im doing A levels next year and I want to do medical or law myself but I do you is that you need Chemistry and Biology (they prefer it if you do Chemistry as a A level and if you decide to drop Biology as an AS, its fine)
