For those lucky few of you who have already taken biochem, you will have an opportunity to test out of the course on Saturday, September 15^th, 8:00am-10:00am in room 115 of the Biological Sciences Learning Center. Dr. Meredith, the course instructor, urges you to take the test if you have already had the class and feel pretty comfortable about the course content. You have absolutely nothing to lose by taking the exam–THERE IS NO PENALTY FOR FAILING–and Dr. Meredith promises not to laugh at your score. Testing out will give you the opportunity to do something different (and stimulating) with your time, and I guarantee that you will be bored in biochem if you already know it cold. Last year, many students planned to coast through the course their second time, but by second week I noticed a strange look of desperate boredom sweep over all of their faces (and pure terror before exams). It was not pretty. Take the test.

The test is long answer (essay). You will be given around 10 or so questions and asked to pick approximately 5 to write about. It should take one to two hours, but you will not be timed.

You will not be tested on what comes after isocitrate in the krebs cycle (phew!). The course instructor is looking for broad, general knowledge of important principles in biochem. DO NOT SIT AND MEMORIZE PATHWAYS. It will do you no good. Just know why the pathway occurs, and consequences of it (energy saving/expenditure, how it can go wrong, alternate pathways, etc.) Get it?

MACROMOLECULAR STRUCTURE:

-amino acids, nucleic acids, and protein structure

-pH and buffers

-enzyme and catalysis

METABOLISM

-glycolysis

-metabolism (lipid synth and metab, aa, metab, purine synth and metab)

-fatty acids and cholesterol

MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF THE GENE

-DNA replication and repair (UV radiation damage, etc.)

-RNA synthesis and processing

-protein synthesis

Because you have already learned this stuff once, I recommend buying a medical board review book like Lippincott’s Illustrated Reviews: Biochemistry by Champe and Harvey. This is advice in hindsight and with a year of medical school under my belt. I tested out of biochem, but I studied completely wrong for it. I took a week before the exam to pretty much read through Voet and Voet’s Biochemistry Fundamentals textbook. To say that I overprepared would be the biggest understatement in the world. Please take my advice and (I stress!!!!) buy Lippincott’s. You will use it again for the boards anyway.

Any questions? Please feel free to call me at 773-256-0961.

Your co-chair,

Jen

Recommended Book Survey

We polled MSIs about books after finishing their first year. Of those who purchased or owned the following books, we asked how they felt about their usefulness. As you can see by the results below, opinions are quite varied. Some people need books to solidify their understanding of material, whereas others are satisfied with the information provided in class. . Remember that people like to study in different ways and that some will find certain books and study tools useful while others will not.. Ask your second year mentor or anyone else with experience through first year for guidance and remember that opinions will vary dramatically. Some students purchased very few textbooks, whereas others felt it necessary to buy all of them. Many books are available on reserve and the bookstore does have a short return policy, so you can find out if you like a book before you really spend the money.

Note: Not all columns add to 100% due to rounding.

All books were priced at amazon.com, except this noted with (*).

researchers)

Psychopathology: BRS Psychiatry, Kaplan and Sadock Synopsis of Psychiatry

In the fall of 1993, the University of Chicago opened the doors to its new Biological Sciences Learning Center, known affectionately as the BSLC. The BSLC is one building with a dual purpose: to transfer existing information to new generations of students, and to generate knowledge through research. For the next two years you will spend most of your time in this building, located on the north side of 57th Street, across from the John Crerar Science Library. Illustrated below are some of the main features of your new home:

Learning Center (south wing)

-Five Story atrium allowing sunlight through all levels.

-Large lecture rooms, with the latest in audio/video technology.

-Computer lab on lower level and Sun System stations for email and internet.

-4th floor anatomy and histology labs, as well as another small computer lab accessible only to first year medical students.

-Coffee shop/snack bar on the second floor.

- 19,023 square foot greenhouse on the top floor.

Jules Knapp Medical Research Center

(north wing)

Five floors devoted to the following labs and offices:

1. Gwen Knapp Center for Lupus and Immunology

2.Center for Molecular Oncology

3.Center for Molecular Cardiology

4.Brain Research Foundation for Molecular Neurobiology

5.Genetics (I st Floor)

Computer Lab & Interactive Classroom

Located in the lower level of the BSLC, these lab are evolving so check and see what they has become in the fall. Descend the stairs, continue down the hall and through the double doors. There will be a scanning station, both IBM and Macintosh compatible computers, and free laser printing.

Anatomy Suite Computer Lab

On the fourth floor across from the anatomy lab, there is a small computer room with 8 computers equipped with laser disk players and a laser printer and scanner. It is only accessible to first year med students via their key cards. Thus, you have 24-hour access to computer facilities. This is the best place to view Histo slides, Anatomic and Neurologic dissections utilizing the laserdisc programs provided for you.

Training

At the beginning of each new quarter, training on how to use the AudioVisual equipment in the building is offered. Also offered are classes and individual sessions on how to use MultiMedia in teaching, e-mail and using the Internet, how to get the most out of the equipment the building has to offer, and more. Please call or e-mail the Training Specialist (phone extension 5-9421 or e-mail to [email protected]) to find out when classes are scheduled.

Computers

The computers in the BSLC will play an integral part in your first year experience, both academically and socially. Though there is a move towards decreasing the use of the internet as the primary tool in some classes, still many resources will remain online. The recently established Chalk system (chalk.uchicago.edu), accessible with user name and password, organizes many of the online webpages for each of your classes. Those classes not enlisted with chalk will be found on the OME web site at ome.bsd.uchicago.edu through the e-curriculum link.

The computer lab on the fourth floor situated between the histology labs and across from the anatomy lab is always open though not always running at 100%. You’ll see. On the lower level of the BSLC is an evolving computer lab. Another computer lab is the fresh USITE Computer Cluster in the basement of Crerar, complete with internet café. You’ll use this lab for most of your laser printing and scanning needs.

Besides the internet, which you can access all around campus, a variety of programs are installed exclusively on the BSLC computers. Though all fairly easy to use, their usefulness varies from person to person. They often serve to reinforce ideas presented in morphology, physiology, and neurobiology. Give them a try to find out whether or not computer learning is for you.

EMAIL and the INTERNET

The internet has an unlimited number of resources for the medical student. Surf away. Some are linked to course web pages; other can be found through search engines and are often linked to other universities. If you do find something good, don’t forget to share.

STUDY AIDS

The anatomy and histology class can put you in front of the computer for several hours before an exam. Supposedly there are laser discs which can be used in the laser disc player in the BSLC computer lab. The "Microscopic Anatomy" application should prepare you well for histology exams as a similar program is used. Other programs on laser disc may help in preparing you for anatomy practicals. A CD-rom accompanies the new Wheater’s histology book and provides similar, though overly detailed, slides. The primary source used by many students is the OME based human morphology web page via the lab link. This provides a selection of slides hitting the major points.

Other programs include:

• Clinical Anatomy - an Interactive Lesson - This program has a Textbook, Lesson and Atlas Mode, so it may have all you need wrapped up in one package!

• Anatomic Explorer - This program shows the horizontal cross sections of the human body. Cross sections are on the lab practicals, so don’t forget to look at them before the test. The "real" (non-labeled) sections can be found in the Anatomy suite, but this program is almost more helpful (at least until you get used to these sections). It is a good idea to follow one structure from slice to slice to help you put together some sort of 3-D body picture in your head! This program is found on the hard drive in the Embryology Apps folder within the Biology Applications folder. There is also a computerized tomography (CT) version in this same folder.

• Animated Embryo - This is in the same folder as the Anatomic Explorer. This program gives the stale chick embryo cross-sections some life! It allows you to click back and forth from cross-section to a 3-D type whole mount that will turn around in space for you This really helps put everything in perspective, and the computer screen is easier to look at than those damn microscopes!

• Brain Storm - This is a terrific tool for Neuroanatomy in the spring quarter. It is a very interactive and informative program that will really help put the brain in perspective. The program provides informational text, with key words linked to their respective cross-sections, whole-brain pictures, and drawn diagrams. Many students used this as a strong supplement to or instead of the real brains used in lab. This program is on CD, and there are many copies in the BSLC computer labs.

• Hyperbrain - This is supposed to be really good and may add to the Brain Storm program

• Symbiosis — this will be introduced to you as a lab in fall quarter physiology. It is useful in simulating the physiological processes of the body and has some easily understood explanations of systems with follow-up quizzes.

Extra Note: When you are reading/writing/ thinking in the computer lab and you come across more vocabulary that you don’t know, remember Stedman’s Medical Dictionary is on the computers and is really helpful as a reference. It is on the BSDAC hard drive in the Applications folder.

The computer resources are very valuable and can really help present the volumes of information you will be trying to learn in a concise and relevant manner. Surely, by the time you read this, the terrific faculty will have found more computer-assisted learning tools for you to try out.

Key Cards

During orientation, you will pay a $10 deposit for a key card that will grant you 24/7 access to the BSLC, the anatomy labs, and the MSI computer lab. The keys are programmed by your academic year such that the second years do not have the same access as first years. If you lose key card, you must pay a replacement fee at the OME. Many of the doors are supposedly alarmed so as to notify campus police if the doors are held open for greater than 20 seconds. Key cards can be forfeited for an infraction. Key cards can be read through wallets and even outer pockets of backpacks. If your card is in your back pocket, all you have to do to get into the building is wiggle your butt in front of the card reader.

University of Chicago Cards

All University of Chicago students are issued the University of Chicago Card. Watch for signs during Orientation Week and stop by the administrative building to get your picture taken. These cards are both bar and magnetically coded and allow you to store up to $50 on them. They can also be used to make copies and use in vending machines. They must also be scanned to gain access to Crerar, the Regenstein, and the athletic facilities. The must be presented upon entrance to the BSLC in the evening and on university buses.

Hospital ID Cards

Hospital ID cards should be worn at all times while in the hospital. They must also be presented to gain admittance to the hospital and Crerar (unless you have your U of C card). They must be swiped to gain entrance to the Student Lounge in the hospital and to use the elevators in the hospital between 8:30 p.m. and 7:00 a.m..

All University of Chicago Medical Center identification cards must be validated annually in late December for the following calendar year. For this, simply go to the Medical Center Security Office, Billings Hospital, Room M-041.

If you lose your ID card, it can be replaced at the Medical Center Security Office (M-041) between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. with a letter of authorization from the OME and a receipt of payment of the replacement fee at the Goldblatt Pavilion cashier’s office in the hospital.

The Medical Center

While most of your time during the first two years will be spent in class, you will need to be somewhat familiar with the hospital, especially when you go to interview patients for Introduction to Clinical Medicine. Maps are available at all entrances and signs can lead you to many locales.

The Cummings-Crerar Tunnel

This tunnel provides a route for travel between the hospital and Crerar library (with Cummings Life Sciences Building in between) without going outside in inclement weather or in the wee hours of the night. From the student lounge continue straight down the S corridor and when you reach the first intersection (not counting the cafeteria entrance) turn left and go down the P corridor. When you come to a corridor on your right with a clock and punch cards on it, take it. You will be passing through open fire doors into a corridor that goes left, turns right, goes straight and finally turns right again. Go downa ramp. Take the door on the left. Walk through the tunnel and the door at the end.

If you want to go to Cummings, take the branch that goes left, and go up the stairs that will put you on the first floor. If you want to go to Crerar Library, continue straight along the corridor and through the door at the end. This puts you in the basement of Crerar, where the internet café is. Go up the stairs to get to the library. To take the tunnel in the opposite direction, your hospital or university ID will be required.

Scrub Machine

The location of the scrub machine changed several times this past year. It’s last known location was in the subbasement of the hospital. Take the F elevator to the subbasement, turn right and then left. The door will be in your right. The scrub exchange process consists of two machines. One of which is a depository. Scan your cards, put your scrubs in. Go to the other machine, scan you card, pick your size, retrieve your new clean scrubs.

Student Lounge

The Student Lounge is a cool place. Here is the place in the hospital for you (simply because you are a student in the med school/BSD) to play pool, foosball, and sleep (all for free!). Upperclasspersons who no longer have classes in the BSLC receive mail here, and flyers and scrubs run aplenty. You will need your hospital I.D. to obtain access. Try your I.D. after you receive it. Many of us have found that we were unable to access the lounge with our I.D.’s. If you cannot get into the lounge, go back to the security office and they will remedy the problem.

If you understand the corridor labeling system in the hospital remember that the lounge is room S-010 (in the basement near the cafeteria). Invited guests are welcome, and tours often bring down prospective students to show them a cross-section of the medical student population.

Activities

Depending on the ambition of the senior class, Student Faculty Social Rounds-more commonly known as Liver Rounds-are held in the Student Lounge every Friday from 5-7 p.m. The beer is cheap and selection is plentiful. This is a great time to talk to students, staff and faculty outside of classes. It’s also a good time to have a beer, play a game of pool or foosball, and plan your Friday night. This is the only regularly scheduled activity in the lounge, but during the day you can almost always find people to get together for a game of pool or a conversation. The Student Lounge also has a stereo, television, treadmill, and several computers that can be used for games or e-mail.

Mailboxes

The mailboxes in the lounge belong to the third- and fourth-year students. First- and second-year students receive their mail in the BSLC mailroom. Regardless of the location of their mailboxes, everyone gets all sorts of important announcements, returned tests, and sufficient junk mail. If you receive mail care of the OME, it will be delivered here. Look around, paper recycling bins are never far away.

Bulletin Boards

There are bulletin boards in the lounge, in the BSLC mailroom, and near all your major classrooms. Sometimes they get pretty covered, so you may have to wade through the minutia if you make the effort.

On-Call Beds

The OME has kindly and mercifully installed an on-call room for those third- and fourth-year students who have to stay overnight. This room lies just off the student lounge, so keep the noise level low during late-night socializing in the lounge so that they can sleep.

Student Physician Conduct and Dress Code

Medical students are expected to conduct themselves professionally at all times while involved in patient care duties. This includes a dress code, which not only confers respect for the profession and the patients, but also will help you to look like you belong in the hospital (although you may not necessarily feel as such). The dress code for physicians in the University of Chicago Medical Center applies equally to medical students in the third and fourth years and to any student involved in patient contact and activities in patient care areas. The code also applies in clinical classes when patients are present or when interviewing in the hospital. Professional dress should be worn whenever on duty in the Medical Center and validated hospital identification badges should be visible at all times.

Here are the guidelines of the dress code:

Women: dress slacks or skirts & blouses, business dresses, suits, and white coats

Men: dress shirts & slacks, ties, suits, and white coats

Scrubs cannot be worn outside designated areas or without a white coat over them. Operating room masks, hats, or shoe covers cannot be worn outside the OR area. T-shirts, sneakers, shorts, and jeans are unacceptable in the dress code.

Medical Instruments

Sophomore students will need instruments for the Physical Diagnosis course in the winter quarter. These should be purchased during the fall quarter. Basic instruments include: stethoscope, otoscope, and ophthalmoscope set, reflex hammer and tuning fork. Optional items that you may want to consider include a physician’s bag that you probably won’t use, a helpful ECG caliper, a penlight, and a pocket eyechart.

The AMSA Medical Instrument Co-op will hold a general meeting early in fall quarter, during which attending physicians and upperclassmen describe what instruments are needed on the wards. Instrument company representatives present their instruments, and afterwards, students can examine the goods first-hand and discuss features and warranties with the salespeople. Orders are placed a week later. After a few weeks, the instruments will arrive and will be distributed to those who remember to keep their receipt.

Medical bookstores also carry medical instruments, but they cost more and are not as convenient as the AMSA sale. Upperclassmen and house staff may also sell pre-owned instruments at a low price, but their warranties may have expired or be nontransferrable.

Repair

Manufacturers warranties usually last until graduation. All instruments sold in the AMSA Instrument Co-op sale are covered by AMSA’s distributor. For repair, take the instrument back where you bought it or to the AMSA distributor.

Engraving

Engraving these expensive items adds that personal touch and also increases your chances of recovering lost items. The security office (room M-041) has an engraver for your use, free of charge.
