<p>The word “noob” can mean one of several different things ([Urban</a> Dictionary: noob](<a href=“Urban Dictionary: noob]Urban”>Urban Dictionary: Noob)), I guess it depends if you take it as definition #2 vs #3. That’s all I will say about that.</p>
<p>If you can’t take any criticism wait till you’re getting yelled at by a resident or an attending for something you may or may not have done. If you can’t take it, then medicine is DEFINITELY not for you (regardless if you do a combined program or not)</p>
<p>With respect to the “official” list as you call it, [which only has BS/MD programs, not BA/MD], [Curriculum</a> Directories](<a href=“http://services.aamc.org/currdir/section3/degree2.cfm]Curriculum”>http://services.aamc.org/currdir/section3/degree2.cfm), it is official in the sense that it is an AAMC web link, but then it ends there. There are MANY MANY more programs (both from high school and early assurance programs where you apply in sophomore/junior year of college) that are not listed on that specific website and even more than the 5 mentioned in this thread (sometimes the programs purposefully don’t wish to be listed on the AAMC website) OR the chapter in the Medical School Admission Requirements (MSAR™) book - “Chapter Ten: Information on Combined College/M.D. Programs for High School Students”: [Medical</a> School Admission Requirements - MSAR - AAMC](<a href=“http://www.aamc.org/students/applying/msar.htm]Medical”>Medical School Admission Requirements™ (MSAR®) for Applicants | Students & Residents)</p>
<p>Search terms to use on Google which takes mere seconds to look and is hardly “time consuming”:</p>
<p>BA/MD program
BS/MD program
combined Bachelor/MD program
combined BA/MD program
combined BS/MD program
early assurance MD program</p>
<p>i did use those exact terms at one point or another except the “early assurance md program”</p>
<p>i never knew the actual names of those programs, but thanks for letting me know</p>
<p>as for the other entries. they tend to give me the universities that appear on the AAMC web link. after going through multiple pages of the same universities, I decided to post up this thread to see if anyone could tell me of any additional bs/md programs to the ones i already knows.</p>
<p>it takes a couple seconds to find possible matches. the ones i am looking for are hard to find. how do you find bs/md programs if thats not what they are called at every school. this is a lot easier in my opinion, but if you guys think otherwise then feel free to carry on. i will deal with my colleges my way. thank you</p>
<p>thank you for the link to the book. i’ll find that handy later on.</p>
<p>Usually that’s what they’re called. If it’s not a BS/MD program then you can use the search term “Bachelor/MD program” or “BA/MD program”</p>
<p>The AAMC weblink may send you to the university webpage, so you’re better off entering instead of for example, “Boston University”, enter “Boston University School of Medicine Bachelor/MD program” in Google which gets you this: <a href=“http://www.bumc.bu.edu/busm/BUSM-About.html[/url]”>http://www.bumc.bu.edu/busm/BUSM-About.html</a> and then go to “Accelerated seven year BA-MD program” or “Modular Medical Integrated Curriculum BA-MD”.</p>
<p>The ones at Northwestern, Brown, etc. are relatively easy to find.
Example: let’s say you want Northwestern’s program, type in “Northwestern BA/MD” which you then get this on Google:
[Northwestern</a> University 88015 Ba/Md In Medical Education USA US](<a href=“http://www.uniguru.com/studyabroad/United-States-courses/BA-MD-Medical-Education-course-details/cseid/88015/cid/72076/programs.html]Northwestern”>http://www.uniguru.com/studyabroad/United-States-courses/BA-MD-Medical-Education-course-details/cseid/88015/cid/72076/programs.html)</p>
<p>Which then from that link you get the name of the program which you can then type the name of the program “Northwestern HPME” into Google which then you get this: [url=<a href=“http://www.medschool.northwestern.edu/hpme/]HPME[/url”>http://www.medschool.northwestern.edu/hpme/]HPME[/url</a>]</p>
<p>Relatively quick. The MSAR book is pretty good which you can find at a local Barnes or Borders and flip to that chapter although it is missing many of the programs.</p>
<p>okay ill take a look at that book myself
as for the programs you just mentioned
they all appear on the Curriculum Directories list you were talking about earlier</p>
<p>and honestly the reason why i posted this thread was so that i could find colleges to put into google. without the name of the college, then you can’t really hope to find much on google.</p>
<p>and since those who replied had some general knowledge of such programs, i asked them to give me links that would send me directly where i need to go</p>
<p>i already knew of the HPME and the PLME
as well as multiple other programs
its those that werent included on the Curriculum Directories list that i am looking for</p>
<p>Blizzard, you are not understanding what I wrote. I wasn’t insulting you personally when I said dumb medical student (there are few to none), I was expressing to you how many medical students get treated occasionally by patients with a chip on the shoulder: as being dumb, a pain, and worthless.</p>
<p>oh. my apologies then.
it seemed as though you were calling me dumb.
but since you were not i apologize.</p>
<p>and i understand exactly what you are saying. i see patients that act that way all the time at the hospital i volunteer at.</p>
<p>I know those are in the AAMC Curriculum Directory as well as in the MSAR. I was referring to how to look up a program, in general, using those as examples. Here is one which is not in the MSAR or the Curriculum doing what I outlined above:</p>
<p>[Tulane</a> University - School of Medicine - Office of Admissions - Special Programs](<a href=“http://tulane.edu/som/admissions/special-programs.cfm]Tulane”>http://tulane.edu/som/admissions/special-programs.cfm) (TULANE ACCELERATED PHYSICIAN TRAINING PROGRAM (TAP-TP, 6+1)</p>
<p>i might be 5 years late, but this thread was hilarious…thx to all the contributed</p>
