New class at UCI: Medical Uncertainty

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!

Shocktoberfest!

shocktoberfest1.jpg

 

This Friday, October 26 is the second annual Shocktoberfest at the Student Center from 7:00PM to 11:00pm. Shocktoberfest is a campus-wide Halloween-themed event featuring a major concert, student organization booths and performances, a haunted house, and After Shock, an after party dance in the Pacific Ballroom from 11pm to 1am.

This year, CHSC is hosting a booth featuring palm reading and selling baked goods (i.e. decorate your own cookie). Since the event is set to run from 7-11, we are looking for volunteers to help at the booth! Any time you can volunteer is appreciated. For all the fearful, the palm-reading is going to be based off a quick “cheat sheet” of major lines in the palm, (i.e. lifeline, etc, and after that its “make-up-as-you-go”). But if you’d rather sell cookies or help out in other ways, please contact Chris Lawrence ASAP. Since this event is a fundraiser for CHSC, your support is very important to its success. Make sure to stop by our booth if you go! See you there!
