Due to the rigorous and highly supervised nature of this hands-on training, lecture, lab and scenario courses are only offered during the day.

The clinical courses provide some flexibility to the students’ schedules, as the specific hours are not preset and scheduled by the instructors. Students will work directly with their assigned hospital clinical and field clinical sites to schedule shifts. Availability and duration of shifts is determined by the clinical sites. It is each student’s responsibility to complete their hours and competencies before the end of each respective clinical course.
