See It

The Thomas Aquinas College (TAC) Medical Society is a new organization for pre-medical, pre-dental, and pre-nursing students at Thomas Aquinas College. The College's curriculum is a strong liberal arts program, and pre-health students, like us, choose it as their undergraduate education because professional schools, like medical schools and nursing programs, have seen liberal arts students excel as caregivers. But TAC's fixed, four-year program makes it difficult for us to compete for medical, or dental, or nursing schools.

Believe It

Previously, each of us would have to work this out alone; now, the Society can make things easier. We support each other and share resources while keeping our education focused on our final goal. To become competitive candidates for professional schools, and to fulfill our dreams of becoming good physicians, we supplement our liberal education with more activities. Our difficulty, though, is in funding. A few moments on the internet told us that dissections and research kits would be more expensive than we can afford. We are determined to become good doctors and nurses. For more information and to see more pictures, please visit our website, at www.freewebs/tacmedical.

Build It

In its second year, the TAC Medical society will have a place in the school newspaper to fill with articles twice each month--with two new deadlines to meet each month, we hope to stimulate constant though about the role of the caregiver and about health issues. In addition, we are ready start a lecture series by people in various health fields--our first talk will be by a pharmacy technician.
