Calling all health professionals or future health professionals...*report in here*
 

Hello,

Was just reading the "UBC Med Guidance" thread, and as SIR_vfung said, I too did not expect there to be quite a few MD students on RS.

So, I'm curious to see if we have any other health professionals out there. I know of a few pharmacy students and a few med students... I don't know of any dentistry students on RS or Nursing, etc. Anyhow, If I left your name out, just add it on. Or if i left a category out, just add it on. Let's start building the RS medical community... heh

Anyhow, here we go. Let's make a running list. I'm sure a few of you would be interested in knowing anyhow.

Sweet... good job :)

Are you a GP or specializing in something?

You forgot to add Mental Health

We're health care workers as well ;)

^added :)

so are you guys in it for the money, or to better humanity.

skylinegtr recite the doctors creed on the spot, off the top of your head!

Like Homer said, "A little from Column A, a little from Column B" ;)

You make decent money as a doc, but the lifestyle can be quite stressful. All the people I know and went to school with are in it to help people, including myself.

Mental Health

haha cool thread, hope i can add myself to a list soon!

(edit):
If being a therapist counts,
I guess I can be put under ABA -therapy

This thread rocks :)

Social Worker here..

Mental health workers: Are you like a psychiatric nurse? a clinical psychologist? a psychiatrist?

Where's everyone now? On campus? In the community? hospital? And what year? I've come across quite a few pharm students

huzzah! some appreciation for my thread!

i'm on campus 2nd year pharm... meh is too... i think jermyzy is graduating this year? skylinegtr is graduated... and not sure where everyone else is...

oh yea... what's aba-therapy by the way? did i put the category up right?

I'm a Community Mental Health Worker/Forensic Transition Worker. I work for the Coast Foundation Society in their boarding homes in Vancouver as well as for their Forensic Transition program on Riverview grounds. :)

what_the?: I'm doing my last term.. them I'm done with school (thank god).. for now at least :) I met some people: Anoop? Scott? Ali? Rocko? I think they're in 3rd year though...

ABA therapy

Sir-vfung: Cool! I work in the field of developmental disabilities as well. I have 2 students right now, they are great. How long have you been in this? How's it going?

Mrtemp: You're a good person to know :) I understand that housing is a major concern for people with mental health issues.

hahaha anoop's in 2nd year, if it's big white guy scott, he's in 2nd year too... and ali-reza is also in 2nd year... rocky if it's the white guy with like short buzzed type hair, he's graduating this year...

:)

I guess I'm the only lab tech here, I work in microbiology/chemistry/hematology and soon transfusion medicine at St Paul's hospital.

so you're a medical laboratory technician then imasa? just so i know what category to put you in

We should have a Health Care Professionals meet

I think technically I should really be considered a pharmacist and not doctor.

^ how come? Aren't you in med school?

I thought once you go into med, you have to revoke your possibility of being a pharmacist. i.e. you can't be both...

skylinegtr: yea, we should get something together :) although technically i've met you before... :P

btw, where are you working now?

Yep to all. I know them from the IHHS course I took at St. Paul's. We had a team called "Social Pharmers" LOL. I see Anoop every now and then. He got me into doing the C.H.I.U.S. thing at the DCHC. And yes, big guy Scott.. tell him that I've been hooked on soy nuts because of him LOL. Ali-Reza, Rocky (I did the HealthCare Team Challenge 2005 and was on his team) yeup.. if you mention young, Chinese social worker, they'll know me... there's not many out there :p

"Amplified" from the B/S mod team is actually a lab tech too.. but at Richmond Hospital.

We'd call it "Rounds" :D

Hehe, most of the rounds I've been to have free food/coffee and treats so I'll be expecting the same thing :)

yeah i'm a lab tech @ richmond hospital
