A preface, we have a shelf exam from 8 to 10:30 then have this mandatory hospital day from 10:30 to 12:30 and then we have our other shelf exam from 12:30 to 3. so they expect us to mingle and pretend to be interested while we should be eating lunch and relaxing a bit between exams.....

an email from school today:

Dear OMS,

As you know, Hospital Day is tomorrow and attendance is MANDATORY. Attendance cards will be available for you to pick up at the reception/guard desk on the first floor of the HEC when you first walk in the front doors. You will need to obtain signatures from at least 16 of the exhibitors who are here for the event.

The attendance cards will have more instructions on them, but we would like for you to keep the following points in mind while you are meeting with the sites that are on campus:
- Do NOT forge any signatures on your attendance cards. Students who do so will meet with the Student Performance Committee and risk being pulled off of rotations.

- Please remember to act professionally when obtaining signatures on your attendance card. Do not walk up to the site representative and ask for a signature and walk away. Make sure that you ask questions and show interest in their programs. Many of these sites are traveling long distances to come talk to you about their rotations and residency programs.


Cards can be turned in to the COMP Administration offices on the 2nd floor of the HEC by the reception desk. A drop off box will be available for your cards after Hospital Day is over.


20 minutes later we receive another email:

UPDATE!

Students will need to obtain 17 signatures, not 16.




17, not 16. what a JOKE
