Dear High School Counselors & Educators,
Kaplan Test Prep & Admissions, UNM’s Alpha Epsilon Delta,
and UNM’s BA/MD Program would like to invite you to
participate in the First Annual UNM Medical School Panel
that will be held November 9th in the UNM SUB Ballroom A at
7:30pm.
The Med School Panel is a free public service career forum
being hosted by Kaplan in several cities this fall for
prospective medical school students. The objective of the
event is to provide prospective medical school applicants
with an insider's look at both how to get into medical
school as well as how to make smart career choices upon
receiving a medical degree. It is designed to promote
medical school and encourage people to consider a career in
medicine.
The panel will be composed of three to four medical school
admissions officers as well as current medical students, and
prominent medical leaders who will share their practical
admissions advice as well as real-world experiences. Our
panelists will each give a brief presentation highlighting
their individual medical experiences including your choice
of medical school and career path. They will then answer a
series of basic questions re: their medical school and
career choice. The event will end with a short Q & A.
If you know of any pre- premed students that might be
interested, please share this information with them. This
would be a great experience for them, meeting other premed
students at the collegiate level, but also gaining valuable
insight into the medical profession prior to their college
careers. Please feel free to contact me via email at
maralyn.[email removed]!
Sincerely,
Maralyn Beck
Program Coordinator
Kaplan Test Prep & Admissions

Hi,
Any comments on Santa Fe Community College's online
alternative licensure program?
Isn't a principal less likely to hire such a graduate,
compared to someone with either a conventional degree or a
non-online alternative licensure program?

Get This,
I have a Level III -A Instructional Leader Certificate -
Lifetime, Sped K - 12, and Secondary Lang. Arts and Social
Studies issued by the N.M. Educ. Department., taught sped
at all levels in N.M. for 38 years, and retired two years
ago. Born and raised in N.M. Went to college in New
Mexico.
Went to the Grants personnel office to inquire about
subing. Among other things, I had to OBSERVE for a day so
I'd have " some idea how to teach school". DUH!
When I presented a resume with my credentials and
experience, I was told I had to observe anyway.
This same district has been searching for a sped director
for months. I have yet to be able to schedule an
interview. Politics! That's your tax dollars at work.
A great way to treat someone who taught primarily sped BD
all those years.
So much for subing.

Are there teachers' unions in New Mexico? We have the CTA
here in California. I know Texas does not, but haven't a
clue about New Mexico. Thanks.
