In our school we have an accelerated program, that one can enter if they have decent grades at the end of the second semester, so I asked:
Upon entering the fast track, assuming I am eligible, what is your opinion on the effectiveness of knowledge assimilation for a student, with the considerations that they are not having much of a break for 3 years?
On the contrary, do you find that students who have the summer off, are able to recall the information that they have not been exposed to over their previous four months?
What amount of practice time is given to the students prior to clinicals?
What kind of professional relationships do the professors have with their students?
just a few, that were important to me when I interviewed.
