HereĀ are some commits and contact information from students that are located at Phase II sites

As far as phase II, I'm sure there will be a lot of differences in the way each site handles its business, but as far as tests and stuff, you'll get a packet full of learning objectives for each rotation. You won't get slides or handouts like in phase I. Basically, you use whatever source reference that they draw the objectives from to look 'em up and study those. It seems real overwhelming at first, because the lists are way long, but if you just take a couple hours a night and work on them, it should be no sweat. As you can imagine, after phase I, a couple hours of studying a night is like vacation!! I've taken one test so far and it wasn't in the weeds like a Poupko or Klotz test, and a lot you will recognize from phase I, but you still need to study those objectives.
That is the common bond I think we will have with all the other sights, since the tests all come from Ft Sam. Other than that, out here in San Diego we are all out on our separate rotations and come together once per week for a meeting where we catch up on admin stuff, give presentations and study PANCE practice questions.
All in all, the Navy guys and most of the other guys and gals that I keep up with from 3-06 are loving clinicals. The staff treats you real well and are eager to train, the hours are good and you can start to get your life back after a year of pain.

Hello IPASS officers and members! I just wanted to say hello and that I'm very impressed with this website and the accomplishments that you all have made. I'm glad to see that you are still sponsoring volunteer projects and that your lunchs and dinners are going well. In addition, I would be happy to answer any questions anyone might have about Eglin AFB. I know there are two Army members and an Air Force member heading this way. Good luck to you all and I'll see you out in the world! P.S. I wanted to pass on something I was taught while in Ophthamology; when using the opthalmascope, change the light to the slit instead of the round. With the slit, you can see the light bend into the cup and fovea when it passes over them!
