In other words, the student becomes a valuable part of society's health care system. The school year is made up of three 15 week semesters, a total of 45 weeks. Breaks include a winter holiday break of nine days, and two weeks off between semesters. Students have the option of attending classes on a day program or evening and weekend program schedule. Our aim is to serve students who are employed elsewhere during the week.
Exams are cumulative and occur at the end of each course.
Some courses will feature a mid-term examination, and some require an outside project. Evaluation in the clinic is performed on a practical basis by the Clinic Director, and successful completion of this practical evaluation is necessary to advance in clinic studies. A summer semester is offered to allow students the option of accelerating their program. New students are accepted three times a year, and can begin their studies during the fall, spring or summer semesters. This enrollment schedule allows students to take a leave of absence during any semester without jeopardizing the structure of their program.
