In the program right now. Director and faculty are from RUSH. It's tough! If you have any questions, please, feel free to email me.

I'm a senior in this program and will be finishing in June. Enjoy your time before school starts because anesthesia will be your life for the next 27 mths. You will learn and get all the clinical experience need to take the boards. Good luck!

I haven't seen our class schedule yet, but I am just curious how many hours a day you spend on campus early in the program? And once clinical begins, how are sites selected for students and how many days do you spend at each site (are you in one place for the whole quarter or can you be in several?).

Have any recommendations for student insurance? I was just going to go through what the university offers, but there isn't much information about it online.

Anyone have time to use the fitness facility at RF? Curious as to what it's like...

I'm sure the questions will keep coming, thanks for offering some advice! :)

Plan on spending 6-10 hrs when your on campus depending on the quarter and class your in. In general be flexible with your time because this is part of being in anethesia school. As far as clinical goes different locations will provide different opportunites and experiences. The directors will try to get you into sites that are close to home but remember your clinical requirements and your classmates requirements take precedence over conveinence.

And, once gross anatomy hits, you'll pretty much live there...

I sorta plan on putting life on hold for a good 27 months at this point. If you had the option to audit a course, would you do it? I may be able to audit the research course if I were to get approved, but I didn't know if this would help me or hurt me in the long run...seeing as I know nothing about the classes themselves.

Also, does the financial aid office do a decent job of explaining how all of this works during orientation? I am so confused about all of this financial aid since I have gotten my award packet. I somehow slipped out of undergrad without any student loans....

If you could audit a class it may lighten your load for that quarter. Good luck
