New class at UCI: Medical Uncertainty

March 13, 2008 at 3:10 pm by Ryan Lombardini

U-Teach Program

Taught by CHP student, Shamik Mukherji, fourth year Bio Sci major!

 

This is a one unit seminar meant for freshman, but anyone can take it!

 

Its about the way medicine pervades our lives and how we react to the more uncertain elements of the study, practice, and science of medicine. The class will delve into matters pertaining to scientific fallibility, the history of medicine, how medicine is changing today, and how doctors deal with the vast complexity inherent to the practice. We’ll be touching upon many topics, including healthcare, big pharma, HMOs, the works. If you’re interested in medicine and would like to see the field in a new way, join up!

 

Class Code: 87600  

Instructor: BARRETT, J., STAFF    <-(Me)

Tuesdays from 5:00- 5:50pm in DBH 1420 

Website: https://eee.uci.edu/08w/87807/

 

The class has only 20 spots, so use that early registration! I hope to see some fellow CHP kids there!

Volunteers for Academic Talent Search Test Dates

December 4, 2007 at 5:44 pm by Ryan Lombardini

Academic Talent Search (ATS) is CHSC’s biggest fundraiser of the year. CHP students help register junior high and high school students who are taking the PSAT/SAT. Most testing dates occur at UCI, with a couple at other campuses. We need 3 student volunteers for each date to sit at the registration table from 8 AM until 1:30 PM. It is not constant work, you get plenty of breaks, and we encourage you to sign-up with friends, as you’ll get to spend most of the time socializing.

Here are the dates and locations scheduled for Winter Quarter (all Saturday mornings):

Location Date
UCI 1/19/08
UCSD 2/2/08
UCI 2/2/08 (morning only- 8am-10am)
UCI 2/9/08
UCI 2/16/08
UCLA 2/23/08
UCI 3/15/08
UCI 3/16/08 (morning only- 8am-10am)

If you can volunteer for any of the above dates, please email CHSC Secretary, Tiffany Tu at tjtu@uci.edu. Thank you!
