Professional growth and development of a sound ethical basis is a primary goal of medical education at RUSM. Beginning with new student orientation and woven throughout the formal and informal curriculum, the basic elements of professionalism of respect for others and self, accountability and cultural sensitivity are encouraged. Within the school of medicine student behavior is guided by the Honor Code (see Honor Constitution, an attachment to the Student Handbook) the Code of Student Conduct (Student Handbook) and the American Medical Association Ethical Principles. Professionalism grows as students develop self‐awareness, as they experience professional role‐modeling in their faculty, as they reflect on and learn from their student experiences and as they develop altruism in community service. It is expected that students will not arrive here as professionals and that they will make mistakes as they develop in the ethical/professional arena. Several processes specifically guide professional development including the use of Professionalism Cards and two disciplinary boards, the Honor Council and the Grievance Committee.

Ripe bananas are very perishable - what makes a banana ripen. Bananas Begin to Ripen as Soon as They Are Harvested - hormones in the fruit convert certain amino acids into ethylene gas that in turn, stimulates the production of several enzymes, changing the color, texture and flavor of the banana.
The Banana Becomes Sweet and Soft - what makes sweet is amylase, breaking down the starch in the banana fruit into glucose, what soften is pectinase, breaking down the cell walls in the banana fruit so that it is less firm.
The Banana Peel Changes Color - chlorophyll molecules digested - green pigment is replaced by yellow, red or blue.
Oxygen Turns the Banana Peel Brown - once softened, bruise much more easily. Bruising leads to release polyphenoloxidase to speed up oxidation, which turns a banana peel brown then black.
Banana Ripening Continues at Home -The ripening process continues after you bring your bananas home - speed ripening by loosely covering your unripe bananas to concentrate the ethylene gas.

Randomness of the Day

- pay attentions to questions – read questions – answer easier first & read all distractors – dun answer all right away – read other questions may prompt you – train your brain to be more right – really dun know – boil down to two. Stumped – pick one choice


- relax and alert - blood flow to brain increased – pace yourself

- unless miscopy – perfectly remember the notes – take ur guess and move on – 2nd guess is waste of time – NOT CHANGE YOUR ANSWER

Watching Bolt made me realize how realistic animation has become, very funny and sorta like nemo. Anyway, I had chicken and vegetable indian rice that my parents bought from dveon, chicago, for friends. After a few hours later, we headed out for chinese restaurant in dempster, montron grove. I was full so I didnt eat a lot. There was a nice group of people, 12 total. Repacked and rearranged items in the luggages and look forward to hearing back from Liat airline customer care. why slow service?
