Gambit showers med students with flowers

Kudos to the first year medical students! This week’s “Bouquets & Brickbats” column in the Gambit Weekly praises their efforts in continuing Camp Tiger for the 22nd year. The medical students plan all of the activities, raise necessary funds, solicit donations for activities and supplies and then volunteer their time to serve as camp counselors. Great job guys!

New Test Prep: Dentistry & Emergency Medicine

Practice for the NDBE, Emergency Medicine with ExamMaster.

ExamMaster has just released their preliminary product for dentistry. This initial product is “Basic Sciences for Dental Part I”. It uses the NDBE Part I content blueprint as the product foundation. Over the coming months look for more clinical oriented questions to the product, as well as a review product for the NDBE Part II examination. In the meantime, the 1800 questions contained in this product will be a very useful study aid for the beginning to intermediate dental students.
