I know that everyone is sooo excited about being back in class. It is going to be a great year (our last year of classes!!!) and we are going to hit the ground running. This Friday at 11:50 we are going to have our first class meeting! it will be right after OTC, and we will vote on our final schedule and sign up for LEARN Teams. Day one is almost done!!!!! We are now officially OVER HALFWAY there!

Hey Guys!!! I just wanted to take a minute (aka procrastinate) and say how glad I am that I am in our class. Everyone is so willing to share and help everyone else. I really feel that we have the BEST class EVER!!! I hope that everyone is getting some good studying done, maybe we can all ride the train instead of getting run over by it. Don't forget that all the study help on the GG was posted at the beginning of this semester. If you go and look you might just find what you really need! (just scroll down the files, everything is named pretty obviously). GOOD LUCK!

WE ARE ALMOST DONE!!!!

some cancer toxicities

hey guys...thanks to Barb and everyone that helped provide infomation for the SAR sheet. Dr. Riggs said that it looked good. I added everything that he told me to change. IT is up on the GG and Riggs said he would post it on blackboard. I hope that it helps everyone. Also if you were in ID today, Dr. Warren talked alot about abx selection. I have a good chart that is a brief overview of abx, coverage, and when to select them. I will try to get it up sometime before finals (all it needs is some fine tuning from me).

Everyone enjoy! and TRY NOT TO STRESS!!!

SAR fun stuff!

Okay, so pharmacology is over and now we are all focused on med chem. I found some stuff that might help with SARs and overviews of mostly steroids (check out GG). I didn't make them, but they look helpful. So check it out, and give me some feedback (they are helpful or not). Thanks to everyone that is compiling notes, it is very helpful.

Have a good rest of the week and study hard this weekend!

Hey guys! I know that we have the mac group now, but please don't forget about the google group. I have already loaded all of the "help" and I had access to onto the group. But I also wanted to remind you of a few things that we can do with the google group. If you email anything to the mac group, also email it to the google group MSOP2010@googlegroups.com this is a way that you can directly "post" your study guides or other help. just note that it will show up under the discussions and not files. You can also respond to to people's discussions, so if you have any questions, post them and hopefully someone will respond to your question. One other cool thing that you can do is create a page. The page can be of anything, silly or helpful. Just play around if you get a chance, I know we are all overwhelmed with extra time. PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

THANKS!

more ID help

I put up some help, sorry it is upside down and backwards. It took some work to get into a word document, and once i did i figured that as long as it printed people wouldn't have a problem. It is the only thing I could get my hands on, hope it helps some!

Thanks Erica!

Dipiro LRTI Principles of Pharmacotherapy

Hey guys! I have put a copy of the Principles of pharmacotherapy staements at the end of the LRTI chapter in the Dipiro Pharmacotherapy book. Dr. Lander suggested that we use it as a study guide. I typed up a copy of it and it is on the Google group. Just click on study help on the lower right part of this screen. Let me know if you still can't sign on to the group. Have a great weekend!

our class amazes me!

One of the things that I love the most about our class is the fact that everyone is always so willing to help each other. There has been so much posted one the Google groups and on blackboard that one person created and wanted to share with everyone. That is wonderful; it really reinforces that we are all in this together. Which is a great feeling!!! Check out the Google group, Beth sent me some really good summaries for ID. Thanks Beth! If anyone ever has anything that you want to share just send it to me and I'll post it. Also if you are having any problems signing on to goggle, let me know. I will do my best to help you get on and access the wonderful study aids. Good luck to everyone in studying for ID!

cough/cold

OTC learning objectives are up on the google group! Thanks to Barb and Jessica!!!!

Hey guys! I hope that everyone is trying to stay healthy, and

if you are sick STAY AT HOME!!!

Try to enjoy the 'break' and get some rest. I was out last week so I know how you all feel. If it makes yall feel any better, class is just the same as when you left it.

Today in Med Chem (actually right now) we are trying to understand what Riggs wanted from us for the Case #1.

Check out the study help and maybe it'll make some sense to you

(do not use this as your sole source of help, it has not been checked)

THIS IS TRUE FOR ALL STUDY HELP. KEEP THIS IN MIND!

Also, remember that PLS applications are due tomorrow.

There is also a bake sale this Thursday for Kappa Psi, I always love an excuse to eat chocolate all day!

Let me know if you have any ideas or stuff for the blog.

Stay healthy, and WASH YOUR HANDS!!!
