GRÅ STÆR
Who is eligible to rush?
Phi Chi is open to all majors and minors, though you must have the intention of obtaining an MD or a DO.
What does the rush process look like?
Our rush has two rounds. The first round consists of an informational session, a meet-and-greet, and an application to get to know who you are. The second round is invite only, and consists of an interview and our personal favorite event, Team Dynamics. Team Dynamics is our final rush event, where you’ll be assigned to a team and participate in several activities/games with our current members.
What does your themed rush mean?
What are the rush requirements?
You must be either a Freshman, Sophomore, or Junior with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.3 and a Math/Science GPA of 3.0. However, the average GPA of current Phi Chi members is a 3.70.
What is the time commitment?
You can expect approximately 4 hours per week during rush and 2 hours per week after rush. Phi Chi uses a points system, meaning members must reach a certain number of points to be considered an active member. Points are obtained by attending chapter and volunteer/professional events. This allows for flexibility in your schedule.
Do you do winter rush?
Yes, Phi Chi participates in both fall and winter rush!
Can I rush more than once?
Yes! Sometimes all it takes is to try again.
Lad det være sagt med det samme. Vi får alle grå stær. Nogle får det bare tidligere end andre eller i mindre grad. Grå stær er næsten altid aldersrelateret og udtryk for en tilstand, hvor linsen i stigende grad bliver uklar. Synet bliver sløret eller opleves svækket, og der kan komme problemer med at læse mindre bogstaver og se fjernsyn. Derudover kan man opleve gener i form af blænding fra lyskilder som gadebelysning og billygter. Jo ældre man bliver, og især når man er over 65-70 år, er der øget sandsynlighed for, at man har brug for at blive opereret for grå stær. Operation for grå stær er den hyppigst udførte øjenoperation i Danmark. En øjenlæge kan forholdsvist let stille diagnosen for grå stær ved undersøgelse af linse og nethinden i øjet med mikroskop. Grå stær kan udelukkende behandles kirurgisk. Grå stær operationen er et kortvarigt og ambulant udført kirurgisk indgreb, hvor den uklare linse udskiftes med en kunstig linse.
