However, I wonder if you guys can give me a little heads up on what your didactic portions were like when you started your program. I mean how does your chemistry, etc. tie into everything. I can see knowing gas law equations and having a solid fundamental knowledge of chemical principles but I guess I just have that apprehension from not knowing. Are there chem labs? Are you balancing chem equations? I know all programs are different but the curiosity is driving me crazy!

I finished my chemistry/physics class last semester. Think cellular physiology
plus chemistry and physics. Titles of my lectures in that class include:
Inorganic/Organic Chemistry Review
Classification/Naming
Cyclic Hydrocarbons
Functional Groups I & II
Chemistry of Hemoglobin
Vaporization
Biotransformation
Gas Laws
CO2 Absorption
Hydrodynamics
Diffusion/Osmosis
Capnography & Pulse Oximetry
Hope that helps!
