    At ufm, the scary part is in med school, its not even pass fail, its satisfactory and unsatisfactory…(and they can repeat tests upto 5 times). Somehow it doesn’t bode well about my confidence in doctors..hehe. You’d think since they have so many lives in their hands, they would subject them to higher standards.
