Re: University of Alabama
USA does require you to make an on campus visit the first semester of clinical instruction (this is in the second year) that generally last 3-4 days.
They have stated they may increase this, and can alter this requirement at any time and may do so.
Depending on the specialty, I have heard some of them are required also to come in the final semester also. And this can change from semester to semester and class to class.
So the answer may not be available, as it seems to be being debated.
