Chapter 15 Lectures
"Where's Ye Lan?"
Early on Saturday morning, Tian Lu and Feng Lin stood at the gate of the girls' dormitory and waited for a long time, but only saw Liu Linlin coming downstairs. They couldn't help but ask strangely.
Liu Linlin stuck out her tongue and said: "Lanlan asked me to tell you that she is not going today. Someone called her very late yesterday and said she was going to attend a lecture, so she left early in the morning.
.”
"Lecture? What lecture?"
Feng Lin frowned and asked.
Lingnan Medical College has an old brand, great reputation, and profound foundation, so there are many external experts such as so-called visiting professors and special professors. There are various lectures for students almost every week. Of course, most lectures
They are all relatively high-end and are aimed at graduate students and above, but a few are geared towards undergraduates, and some are quite worth listening to.
But it seems that this lecture can make Ye Lan give up her own proposed trip to Danmu Lake!
"Um......"
Liu Linlin tilted her head and tried to recall: "It seemed to be a lecture called USME, or USLE, etc. Anyway, it was a lecture on how to get the American Medical Practitioner Certificate. Lan Lan said that she had been interested in this a long time ago, so she wanted to
Go and listen, I won’t go today.”
"Is it Usmle?"
Feng Lin's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, that's usmle!" Upon hearing her boyfriend say his full name, Liu Linlin slapped her forehead and affirmed immediately.
"Where is this lecture?"
Feng Lin suddenly became interested and said decisively: "How about we also go and listen to it? I heard that this exam is very popular now. Every year in our school, there are many people who do not look for jobs or take the postgraduate entrance exams, but just focus on taking this exam.
.”
Liu Linlin would naturally not object to the future of her boyfriend, but Tian Lu was hesitant and didn't want to go. He had just passed such a difficult exam, and he really didn't want to waste any more time.
I want to have a good time relaxing.
Looking at Tian Lu's expression, Feng Lin, who knew the temperament of his good friend, immediately winked at Liu Linlin, then turned to persuade: "Tian Lu, go and listen, we are already in our junior year, and we will have to think about the future at this time next year.
There is no harm in knowing more about a way out, whether you have the intention to examine it or not.”
After receiving the signal from her boyfriend, Liu Linlin nodded and said, "Yes, Tian Lu, after hearing what Feng Lin said, I also want to listen. Let's go together!"
Under the strong encouragement of Feng Lin and Liu Linlin, Tian Lu had no choice but to agree. The three of them put their things back in the dormitory and hurried to the school's small auditorium. After arriving, they were shocked to discover that this so-called USMLE lecture was actually
It was so popular that the small auditorium that could accommodate more than 300 people was packed, and even the aisles were filled with students who came to listen to the lecture!
When Tian Lu waited for the three of them to arrive, there was almost no space left to stand. Fortunately, Feng Lin was tall and strong, and after shamelessly squeezing for a while, the three of them successfully stood next to the emergency exit on one side.
.
Not long after, the lecture started.
After the host exchanged a few pleasantries and introduced the identity and achievements of the speaker, amidst warm applause, a young woman in a professional suit quickly walked up to the podium.
This woman was less than thirty years old, with a medium build and a relatively average appearance. But what stood out to Tian Lu was the temperament that naturally emerged from her body: an extremely confident and capable temperament.
Compared with the immaturity of the female classmates he usually interacts with, it has a very fresh feeling. From the host's introduction just now, Tian Lu knew that this woman is called Fang Hua, who is also a graduate of Lingnan Medical College, but she directly participated in the American University after graduation.
I took the medical licensing exam and am now doing pediatric residency training in a hospital in Houston.
"Hello everyone, I am Fang Hua, your 91st grade senior sister. I am very happy that so many junior brothers and sisters are here to listen to my lecture about USMLE today. I think that since you have come to listen to the lecture, you must have a preliminary understanding of USMLE.
Understood, then I won’t talk nonsense and let’s get straight to the point.”
This senior sister named Fang Hua didn't have the habit of ordinary people coming up and talking nonsense. She was so direct that Tian Lu couldn't stand it: Others knew it, but he didn't quite understand it!
Knowing that Tian Lu had never cared about these things, Feng Lin immediately leaned into his ear and whispered: "USMLE is the medical license exam in the United States, but it is different from our country. It is divided into several steps. I heard it is very difficult.
of."
"First of all, I want to remind everyone that the USMLE exam is very difficult, at least for Chinese medical students. There are an absolute minority of people who can successfully pass it every year! It can be said that if everyone here takes the exam,
It’s already a big deal if 10% of people succeed.”
The first sentence caused an uproar in the small auditorium, but obviously Fang Hua had no intention of stopping, but continued loudly: "And if you are interested in taking the USMLE, I think you must meet at least the following three conditions: First
First, you have to work hard. I think everyone knows this. As a foreigner, if you want to be a doctor in the United States, you will naturally have to spend more time and energy. Second, you have to be determined. In order to prepare for the exam, I spent three days.
Among the people I know, it took at least two years. Thirdly, you must have money. My opinion is to prepare 200,000 yuan first. This is the basic cost!"
The uproar in the small auditorium had turned into an uproar, and there was a messy discussion, especially this last one, which immediately made many people change their expressions.
The audience was in chaos, but Fang Hua on the stage remained calm. He picked up the mineral water on the table and took a sip. After the auditorium became quieter, he continued: "I know everyone has a lot of doubts in their hearts.
, then, now I will start with the different medical training systems in the United States and China..."
............
The other two roommates went out to play in the morning. When Feng Lin and others came back, the dormitory was quiet, and several people were obviously still in the shock of the lecture just now, and everyone was silent.
After a long time, Ye Lan was the first to break the silence and said with a smile: "How are you two? What do you think after hearing this?"
Liu Linlin is not a medical student, so the two people she talks about naturally refer to Feng Lin and Tian Lu. Seeing Tian Lu frowning and still looking thoughtful, Feng Lin took the lead and sighed: "I didn't expect that, it really didn't happen.
Come to think of it, it turns out that the difference between us and the United States is so big!"
"It's not a difference, it should be a gap!"
Regarding Feng Lin's speech, Ye Lan obviously did not agree very much. He shook his head and corrected: "Let's not talk about the level of medical level for the moment, but when it comes to the training system of medical students and residents, the gap between us and others is not small."
Feng Lin's expression was suffocated, and Feng Lin's face looked a little ugly, but after a moment of hesitation, he sighed and acquiesced to Ye Lan's statement.
Tian Lu's frown deepened.
"I think this is the way to go!"
Seeing that the two boys were silent, Ye Lan's eyes flashed with excitement and she said seriously: "Think about it, if you pass the exam and go to the United States to be a resident physician, you can receive the most professional training and be exposed to the most cutting-edge technology.
If you don’t want to stay there in the future, it will definitely be great to return to China for development!”
When saying these words, Ye Lan was obviously very excited, waving her right hand violently with the change of tone, and in the end she even couldn't help but stand up from the chair!
"But......"
As a layman, Liu Linlin had been silent, but at this time she couldn't help but timidly said: "But the exam will take at least two years, plus four or five years of residency training. If you want to learn it, it will take another six years."
Seven years."
"That's not a problem!"
Before Ye Lan spoke, Feng Lin waved his hand and said: "For me, if I want to go back to Kyoto in the future and go to a tertiary hospital, I will have to at least get a doctorate degree, which will take six years. Compared to
Pretty much the same.”
"The key is whether you can pass the exam!"
At this time, Tian Lu finally couldn't help but speak: "You have all heard that the success rate is very low, and many people give up halfway! Besides, even if you pass in the end, if you can't find a hospital willing to accept you,
What about your residency training? The success rate is only 50%. What will happen if you fail? Have you thought about it?"
"How come you don't have any motivation at all?" Upon hearing Tian Lu's words, Ye Lan was a little unhappy and said with a sullen face: "You have to give everything a try, right? If you haven't tried it, you will definitely fail.
I find it difficult to accept!”
Ye Lan's tone was a little harsh. After she finished speaking, she felt that her tone was too strong and she felt a little apologetic. However, after seeing Tian Lu's disapproval, she suddenly felt an unknown fire in her heart. She waved her hand and said, "Forget it, anyway.
I think this matter deserves serious consideration, and you should think about it too."
After saying that, Ye Lan walked out directly.
Liu Linlin got up and chased after her. Feng Lin glanced at Tian Lu and said angrily: "Tian Lu, what's going on with you?"
Frowning, Tian Lu remained silent.
With a long sigh, Feng Lin shook his head and continued: "Sometimes I really have nothing to say to you. In a situation like this, what's wrong with you just following her words? It's just an idea. Even if you want
If you object, you should at least think about it carefully before speaking. Do you think it's appropriate to just criticize her idea as useless?"
"For more than two years, your relationship with her has been on hold, and no one has complained about it. But look at you, you are usually lazy, and you are always lukewarm towards others. What do you think you are?
What are you thinking about!"
As he talked, Feng Lin couldn't help but feel angry, and his voice gradually became louder!
"Ye Lan is such a good girl. If you miss her, you will really miss her! Think about it for yourself!"
After finally saying a word, Feng Lin also stood up and walked out, leaving Tian Lu alone behind him, and a look of confusion gradually appeared on his face...;
