I am in an accelerated program right now (started a month ago) and all I can say is that it is most brutal yet most exciting time I have ever had! Brutal: I am in school from 8:00am till 10pm every day (classes, clinicals, and studying), and my weekends are spent in the library. Exciting: I cannot believe how much I learned in just one month! The transformation is amazing, and I am amazed by the new things I learn every day. This is definitely the most stimulating academic and HUMAN experience I have ever had. 11 months to go! Edit: My program is only one year long - 12 months!
