For the uninitiated among us, "DO" is Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine?

Talked to a faculty member re: Provo high school (among other things)

Cecil Samuelson said BYU would never have a med school - too many Federal rules.

He would definitely know more about that than most.

This is true. I'm pre-med at BYU and many of us have been heavily recruited by

Lol. College students have former colleagues. You're killing me.

Classmate. I think he meant classmate.

I worked with her. Is that not a colleague?
Harrison0Yfan
10/12/15 7:05pm
I think most people don't refer to others as colleagues until after they start

Gotcha. Yeah I think it might be specific to established careers for some people
Harrison0Yfan
10/12/15 9:05pm
He obviously knows more than I do about it

Astronomical start up costs not necessarily a barrier

Partnering with IHC would help. They are extremely economically sound.

It would be interesting to see how Intermountain would respond if the BYU wanted

All depends on whether there is money to be made.
Virginia Ute
10/12/15 7:24pm
I can tell you one thing. Intermountain does NOT want to be affiliated with a DO

Do hospitals ever take students from multiple schools?
KingDave
10/12/15 8:07pm
All the time
Slim
10/12/15 8:13pm
Do teaching hospitals see med students as a burden but also free labor?
KingDave
10/12/15 8:16pm
Med students provide no useful services in a hospital

Med students cause more work for everyone. Residents are the cheap labor.

I believe so, but it's rare. IIRC, some of the bigger Boston hospitals take

Correct

He addressed this - said it might not be as big a problem as some GAs might have

Do you have a link? I would like to read his comments

It was at a meeting with a Q&E. Someone asked him if BYU would be getting
Monomachos

What are you talking about? What federal regulations would possibly impede BYU
Flyingdolphin
10/12/15 7:47pm
I think they're worried about ties to federal funding, of which US Med schools
Harrison0Yfan
10/12/15 9:08pm
BYU already received millions in federal funding
concolor couguar
10/12/15 10:08pm
Very possible. Maybe that's why he said he doesn't think it'd be an issue
Harrison0Yfan
10/13/15 8:12am
I'm just the messenger; that is what he said but he really did not explain it
Monomachos
10/12/15 11:02pm
I think he cited cost, I don't remember hearing anything about federal rules
Flyingdolphin

i believe the church might have 'some' interest in Provo High,

There is absolutely nothing holding BYU back from having a med school...
IGlowInTheDark
10/12/15 7:01pm
Exactly, this is the bottom line. He said he could see it reaching a point when
Harrison0Yfan
10/12/15 7:03pm
I don't even buy that either.
IGlowInTheDark
10/12/15 7:12pm
That's just what he told me.
Harrison0Yfan

Tell him to stop lying to you.

Same. So many international students apply for the Match

What if it's connected to the Perpetual Education Fund?
KingDave
10/12/15 8:10pm
That's a very interesting idea.
bretonnia
10/12/15 9:54pm
Sorry, he wasn't meaning international students themselves
Harrison0Yfan
10/12/15 9:09pm
how would BYU enforce an Honor Code at a med school..
joebravo
10/12/15 7:06pm
Does BYU enforce it with their grad programs?
Virginia Ute
10/12/15 7:10pm
In my program, not really.

With another heart surgeon in the QoT maybe things start shifting...

Elder Renlund is actually a cardiologist. Great talk in GC

10/12/15 7:40pm
He was a resident at Hopkins right?

It's interesting to me to see the possible shift in the winds, seems it was only

Yep, much of that is a pride issue

I think that Pres. Hinckley started looking closely at some data from outside

P12 might have a hard time justifying their "opinions" at that point!

don't worry, it's a smokescreen excuse and everyone knows it
