I'm not sure who this 2nd year student is but let me emphatically say that he does not represent the student body of AAs at UMKC. I for one, have many friends at Nova, and met other AA students from all of the other schools at the AAAA meeting this past April. Even though I am just in my first year here in KC, I think no matter where you go, or what entrance test you take, you choose your own destiny. You can become a great anesthetist or you can become an attrition statistic because you didn't choose to apply yourself correctly. But those who I was able to interact with really impressed me. We all are part of a great profession with great potential. AA students who are negative only bring down our profession.
I think every school has awesome students; we (and I would guess UMKC2012) do not know the circumstances behind whatever took place in this midwest city he/she talks about. And there is a lot of misinformation being thrown around here by everyone. But, when it comes down to it, every school is accredited by CAAHEP and every AA has to pass national boards.
Were in a great profession! I think those who have egos just need to check them at the door. We’re supposed to support each other. That person you are calling out is your colleague. Enough with the negativity! We do not need those kinds of attitudes in our profession.
