Look closely – mostly 3rd yr courses
Closer – PCTH300 = 6 cr, 302 = 3 cr (but year long labs)
So 2 yr-long lectures and 2 yr-long labs  lab reports
It does get a lot easier in 4th yr though.
But 3rd yr is pretty stacked  if you know you’re slow, don’t overload ur 3rd yr! limit your extracurriculars

3. PCTH Lectures Many different instructors Super Interesting
Pros and cons
Super Interesting
Physiology  Pathophysiology  Pharmacology
Receptor + Substrate  Effect

4. An Example Physiology: understanding how the airway works
Pathophysiology: understanding an asthmatic’s airway
Pharmacology: coming up with a way to improve the asthmatic’s airway
Pharmacology:
β2-adrenergic receptor agonist (Salbutamol) dilates the bronchiole muscle
I would like to tell you the 3Fs. That I learned a very hard way, throughout the whole yr.
If you’re perfectionist, but you’re really slow at life, AND you’re busy  sorry
If you’re very high achieving, you’re prob going to dismiss what I say, but let me tell you what happened to me.
-2wks to write, stuck on intro forever
-what happened to me the day before the due date? I was STILL on the intro
Because wanted to be precise but concise.
On the day it was due, went to class to record lectures, still did not pay attention
I was not even half done  missed the first hour of lab.
No printer  borrowed roommates
Submitted half-finished. No results whatsoever, just discussion

5. PCTH Lab Exciting, hands-on techniques Small groups Lab reports…
Cannulations
Anesthesia
Small groups
Lab reports…
Individual vs. Group
Debates

6. Cool! How do I get in? Calendar Average Talk to Dr. Karim
