Good Day

The med brother/sister list now available >>>>> Here

After viewing the list above if you wish to contact your med brother/sister please download the 2k14 class directory at the same link above.


Below is the on-line pinning ceremony picture sign up link. Individuals (whether they have previously submitted their names to Shari or not) who are interested in having their picture taken can sign up here. You have to still pay by next week Tuesday the latest ($500), so effectively you will be submitting your info twice to some extent but this is to ensure every order is posted.


The MCQs for Health Care Concepts will be posted a little closer to exams so as to avoid persons asking me where they are because they are too far back on the blogspot.

Thank you.
