So, it's Smoker time again! No, not the cigarette kind, the annual musical roast of the faculty as presented by medical students! This year's show promises to be epic – after all, it's called Lor...

Well, the weather finally decided it was time to act like January. After a remarkably warm December (seriously, coats weren't necessary some days over the winter holidays), the new term has begun and ...

Hi Everyone! It's finals week for the non-medical school campus - I am currently in between my two final exams (just finished my Chinese exam) and will then be free for the holidays! I'm not going far...

Now that the holidays are approaching, I begin to look ahead to what the next term will bring. In addition to my classwork (which will consist of a bioinformatics programming class and second-semester...

Well, as a seasoned M3 (who is totally qualified to call herself this by dint of surviving almost one full week on Surgery), I have a bit of advice for those who are starting clinical rotations: it's ...

Well, it's finally over - I just took Step 1 this morning and am thrilled to be done! After sequestering myself in self-imposed isolation for the past month, I can now fully rejoin the land of the liv...

After the Galens Smoker ended last week (I may still be suffering from a wee bit of withdrawal), my thoughts turned to the next big event on the horizon – the USMLE Step 1 exam. It has been hover...

Last weekend, Ann Arbor was hit by over a foot of snow, prompting school-wide cancellation of Monday's classes as roads were cleared and students frolicked (yes, there was actual frolicking) in the sn...

This Sunday marks the winter show of Biorhythms, the medical school dance show! There are a few non-dance acts as well, but mostly the show is composed of group dances in a variety of styles – in...
