   veritas replied to kittyw's topic in NP

   i meant becoz in US you have some programs which shave off 1 year from the 4 year post-grad program, essentially making it 3 years post grad for a med degree. there is no such thing in uk or oz or most 1st world countries. in oz and uk, even after u ...

    veritas replied to kittyw's topic in NP

    anyone who wants to do MD should join the bottom of the pile and start new. seriously people, do you want to go to a doctor who did not pass mcat or interviews? do you want a doctor who took shortcuts to get into med school? i don't think so! the mca...
