I'm in DO school, and in my first year, the neuroanatomy course was my highest grade for some reason. As in, the only in-class exam I got an 'A' on was the one that covered all the basics that one would need to know for neurosurgery. I'm still a little confused about that one.
For the overly sheltered K-MD kids, my belief is that working for a year as an EMT/CNA/RA/etc. should be a pre-requisite to application. The fact that people are allowed to apply to medical school without a history of hands-on professional patient care experience is actually quite galling. You can always tell which doctors have never had to clean up human poop (not counting infants).
