Re: LCC Accelerated Program - what's it like?
I can share with you my experience of the accelerated program. I was part of the first group of students who went through the program. There were alot of students who had kids in my class, I would say about half of the students did. There were also many students who worked, I personally worked 20-25 hours a week.
Each class lasts 6-7 weeks and the first week or two of each rotation is the busiest. All of the labs are usually got out of the way at the beginning. They did alot of the class content online so you don't have lecture in class every week.
You have to be pretty flexible because clinicals are days, nights and weekends. Each 6-7 weeks your schedule changes. We generally didn't find out our schedule for our next rotation until right before it started. They mainly use Lansing facilities for clinicals but there are some require a bit of a drive. For peds most students go to Mott Childrens Hospital in Ann Arbor. I had daytime clinicals which are usually 7-3, night time clinicals from 3-11 and daytime Sat/sun clinicals.
Let me know if there is anything else I can answer for you.
