RMstudents Technology meets medical education

Color powerpoint slides from Dr. Proia's first Mycology lecture (12.03.07) courtesy of Karin.

Please note that these slides are for teaching purposes only and shouldn't be distributed outside of the class as some of the slides have copyrights attached.

Enjoy!

As requested by Bobby, the answers for all the Preventive Medicine post-tests. Please take them with a grain of salt, as I could have mis-copied something. If you have a discrepancy, post a comment. Also, I have contacted Prof. Elliott about session 9 since we were not given official answers. Hopefully he'll get back to me/us.

Answers are attached. As usual, you must be logged in to see the attachments.

Update: Now it includes Session 9 answers.

Congratulations to the Emergency Medicine Interest Group for being the first student group to join RMstudents after our meeting. We hope more groups will be following suit after finals are over!

The rest of the "old RMstudents" anatomy stuff. They are all attachments, so you must be logged in to see (and download) them. Some of them could be fairly old, so information may have changed and testable material could very well be different. All information is "as is" and unverified. Void where prohibited...

Attached you'll find a PDF table recreated from the textbook of hormones & functions of the Thyroid, Parathyroid, Adrenal and Pineal Glands.

So I was thinking of printing shirts (or hoodies, or mugs?) to show our Rush pride. I posted some pictures on Facebook, I'll get to that in a minute. Jeff saw these pictures and told me he had been working on a design too, for the very same reason.

I was fooling around with Paint.net, a free and powerful (though not as powerful as Photoshop) image editing/creating software and eventually made what you see here (depicted on a t-shirt). The original image is here. Now my mockup is by no means the final product. I believe someone in our class who is so much more creative can probably come up with a better design than this. In fact that is what I'm hoping for.

If anyone has a design they would like to submit please e-mail me (usama_ahmad@rush.edu)! There is no hurry on the printing, I mean we can put this off until the end of our first year, but I was kind of hoping to get it done by winter break.

I've attached the original files with this post.

Posted on behalf of Holly Weis:

I made a "real" version of the Hematopoeisis "In Summary" sheet that they gave us in Histo (with real pictures). The staining may appear a bit different in the pictures in my sheet than in our slides, so be careful. But, perhaps you'll find it useful. Enjoy.

We've got a bunch of new features. They go in order that people will care about them, from least likely to most likely to care:

• The first, which most people won't care about, is a automatic "clean URL" generator. This basically makes it so when you make a post entitled "Lot of new features", it will make the URL of your post rmstudents.com/2007/oct/27/lots-new-features as opposed to the less desciptive rmstudents.com/node/100. But this is mainly a background change, that will mainly make it easier to link to things descriptively on RMstudents.
• We've got TinyMCE, which basically adds a word processing-like tool bar to any text box you can type in. This makes it super-easy for anyone to be able to do lots of crazy silly things with text in your posts! Plus it's got a spell-checker. Try it out in the comments if you like.
• We've got Gallery2 running an RMstudents Photo Gallery! Upload your photos and create lots of new albums whenever you want. Want to upload a whole set of pictures? Zip them all into a .zip file and upload them all at once!  You must be logged in to view the gallery.
