I had to add the Journalist and attorney parts part for fun. I actually have a lot of really good friends that are Journalists and attorneys. I have the a lot of respect for most of the Journalists, and most of the attorneys.
Haha... love it.
Tech has offered Environmental Engineering since the early 70’s and the program received ABET accreditation in 81.
That's kind of what I thought, but I didn't have the time to research. Thanks for confirming.
FUCK YOU I'm an osteopath. And I am good at my job. Also learn and understand the ACTUAL premise instead of assumptions.
i'm curious if you agree with what i wrote? i know the differences are pretty small these days in terms of admissions standards, etc, and blood-letting isn't taught as a treatment anymore
. there are, of course, differences in the quality of osteopathic schools, some being a lot better than others. same goes for med schools, i know, but, and correct me if i'm wrong, osteopathic classes usually have many more students per each class, which is definitely not for the best. some have 200+ students in a single introductory class, with more advanced and specialized classes obviously having less students. when i was at an osteopathic school, there was a constant battle between the administration, who wanted to keep adding seats without increasing faculty size. unfortunately, some of these places care a lot more about making $$ than anything.Now is much better than even when I went to school 25 years ago. The number of DO schools I think has tripled from when I went. The average MCAT is significantly higher now too. It has exploded more so because of need and partly because of the combined residency governance now. There is no doubt some are trying to make money, but the candidate is much more qualified now as well. My class was 246. That was the largest ever for the school at the time, and I think maybe even 3rd largest in the nation??? Dont remember that part. Yes for sure class sizes are larger...and that is where the money is. For example, I got into Oklahoma State University (school is in Tulsa) and they only had 88 slots. 80 for OK residents and 8 for states without a med school (Montana at the time). Now they are over 100. Some have created "satellite" schools in different states (Kirksville in Mesa AZ for example). Back in the OG versions, there was some interesting concepts. Now not as much, but look at allopathic schools early on as well.i'm curious if you agree with what i wrote? i know the differences are pretty small these days in terms of admissions standards, etc, and blood-letting isn't taught as a treatment anymore
Man I stomped on that nerve! Lol, outrage much? My daughter is a DO student at Ohio University. That's why we actually moved to Ohio, to help her and her husband with their kids while they are in school.
I was gonna bring up the Hasan Minhaj joke about DO's are docs that just didn't score as well on their MCAT but.....
MSU is building a nursing facility in the Medical Corridor near Intermountain/SCL in Billings. It only makes sense because of the number of nursing students they send here.
What's wrong with journalists? Politics aside, what issue do you have with journalism? I'll take information which has sources, verification, and basis in facts over any newscast, podcast, Facebook, Instagram etc. emotionally charged rants. At least there is some accountability in journalism unlike most sources of information that folks digest.
My current primary care physician is an osteopath and graduate of Rocky Vista in Colorado. According to him, Rocky Vista grads were well represented in the high scores on the Boards. Truth? I have no reason to doubt him.I was gonna bring up the Hasan Minhaj joke about DO's are docs that just didn't score as well on their MCAT but.....
Regarding journalist, one word...objectivity.
That exact same thing (except may have been the retinal artery) happened to a friend of mine in the night. He raced to St Pat's E.R. from P Burg early that am but it was already too late. For the post-stroke anti-coagulant to work the med must be administered I think within the first few hrs. He followed up with Rocky Mtn eye but they said same thing--nothing to be done.
I've had some excellent outcomes with Osteopaths...
What accountability? Seriously - where / what is it? How exactly is it administered?
Allot of military guys take the DO route because of the time loss serving and because of the financial support necessary to get through school, med school, residency and fellowship. It’s a big sacrifice and strain on families and most are very skilled.
That's exactly why my daughter went that route. She was a pre-med major at UM then transferred to UNLV. She was doing a bit too much partying in Vegas so enlisted in the Marine Corps. When she and her husband discharged they moved here. He is a flight paramedic and she decided to go back to school to be a D.O. instead of and MD. It fit her beliefs and values more than M.D. Idk, she is a Missoula kid, half hippy/half mountain girl so it made sense to her. Also, I know there are DO's who are very good at their profession, and they are not witch doctors, but some are. He is going to Ohio University after she graduates for the same DO program. I will still bust their balls though because it's what I do.
As I stated in a follow-up, I was just busting balls. I give them a hard time like I do everyone else, cops, attorneys, DMV employees, security guards, firemen, bankers, accountants, military, why discriminate. Also, as I stated, I tend to forget my audience. It's a personality flaw thanks to being in the military and law enforcement too long.
space, the final frontier... i think the aerospace idea is a good one. dunno about nuclear engineering, because that might need an accelerator. where's the nearest one, pocatello? when i was at isu they had a couple of half-baked schemes hatched to make the university a fortune with theirs, and those went nowhere. it's strange, because idaho national labs is nearby-ish, and isu didn't seem to have much connection with them. aerospace, on the other hand, could be a good addition. it's a growing field with growing opportunities. hell, throw in a space biology program, that area might be able to develop a flow of funding. or not. it all depends on smart hires and some luck.
