Announcements

Dr. Watson announced that we have been successful in developing a diverse class of students. Dr. Romrell reports that the fourth-years are taking Step 2. The NBME will delay reporting of scores, which will affect our transfer students. Students can't continue in clerkships until we get a score: 182 is passing score on exam.
