There are 60 people in our class this year. Clinicals are held at any Florida Hospital location or Orlando Regional. As for the day, it just depends on your clinical instructor. It could be a 12 hour shift once a week or 2 6-8 hour shifts a week.

Just wondering about this program ???
Is it a day program, what are the hours?
How large are the classes?
Where are clinicals ? Day Hours?

Is it a day program, what are the hours? As of right now, our classes (lectures/labs) have only been on Monday and Wednesday. Personally, I've had clinicals on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. For example, I've had 6-8 hour clinical during the Summer on TR and F. In the Fall, I've had a 12-hour clinical on Tuesday then a 12-hour clinical on Friday for the next rotation. This program does require flexibility, but for the most part our weekends our free.

How large are the classes? The lectures are 60 give or take a few based upon attrition. Our labs are around 15 and our clinicals are around 10.

I hope this helps. Personally, I'm enjoying the program and I think it's preparing us well. I've seen a lot of crazy stuff and have met a lot of good people. I think it's great going to school with a more mature student body because everyone has proven themselves to be successful in the academic environment because we all have our first degress. The demographics are all over the place so it's very diverse in age, gender (10% males so as good as can be expected) and race. I hope this helps. The application date is 1/15 so keep that in mind.
