Current/important medical news for interview

Pre-Med & Medical School Med School Interviews
1

<p>Hi, I recieved an interview for a BS/MD program, and before you dismiss me to the med program forum or recommend me to search the web for current events..as i have already..i just wanted some indepth information about the most crucial news in health care and medicine currently. I have read about Obamacare and how aweful it is, it tries to invoke quality in medical practice when ironicaly increasing the quantity of "insured" patients.</p>

<p>Could someone explain the bill to me more, im somewhat still confused about other aspects of it and i would love to show my interviewer that i am knowledgeable about such topics even if he/she dosent expect me to be.</p>

<p>Also, i cant really find anything aobut bioethics, are abortion, malpractice, stemcell research the biggies right now? And where can i find more info about them.</p>

<p>Also, what is the hippocratic oath?</p>

<p>frankly you SHOULD post this in the MD/BS forum because of the simply fact that more pre-meds/medical students/reisdents/doctors read it on a daily basis. BDM posted a great interpretation of the bill some time ago, but I recommend that you tread carefully with the term obamacare and also realize that many doctors are still in favor of the bill despite its flaws.</p>

<p>Google the hippocratic oath… It’s on wikipedia.</p>
