Me as well! Thank you so much!
I would also like to know this!^^^
Sorry I didn't want to clutter things, this was my reply.
I can use first semester as an example because it is a little more course heavy due to anatomy.
These are the main courses:
Foundations (
Found): Basic sciences; eg. biochem, molecular bio, etc. This course is replaced by the mechanisms series (
MOHD) that covers the bulk of the content half-way into first semester. The content in these series is optional lectures with bi-weekly tests.
Clinical and Professional Skills (
CAPS): This course includes patient interviewing, note writing, physical exam, ethics, and evidence-based medicine. These are generally optional lectures (some exceptions) and mandatory groups or skills sessions.
Medicine and Society (
MAS): This course covers the rest of the content; such as public health, wellness, etc. and the case-based learning part of the course. Generally this is all mandatory (or say, you must go to 70% of lectures).
Medical Gross Anatomy (
MGA): Anatomy lectures (optional) and dissection labs (mandatory).
A normal week would be something like this first semester. This is an estimation of an average week. There may be more or less and everyone has different times for groups.
Monday - 8 - 10 Found lectures. 11 - 12 Nothing or MAS or CAPS lectures. 1 - 2 MGA lecture.
Tuesday - 8 - 10 Found lectures. 10 - 12 MAS CBL Session. 1 - 2 MGA lecture. 2 - 4 MGA lab
Wednesday - 8 - 10 Found lectures. 1 - 4 MGA lab
Thursday - 8 - 10 Found lectures. 10 - 12 Nothing or MAS or CAPS lectures. 1 - 3 Some small group or skills session.
Friday - Exam
There is never a day that goes past 5 PM, and I would say the average I am done each day is 2 PM. This doesn't include self-study time.
Spatter in a variety of other activities and I would estimate a normal day includes 2 hours of optional morning lecture, 2 hours of mandatory lecture (or nothing or a small group), and maybe a lab. Or on your off-lab day a lot of free time. Sorry this is pretty vague, but if you never went to optional lectures, you would need to be at school 0 - 6 hours a day. For example, today I just had a small group for 2 hours and nothing else.
