First quarter, you will take:
1. Biochem
2. Anatomy
3. Embryo
4. Histo
5. Pod Med
6. Interdisciplinary Health (1 or 2 hours total)
Lecture is going to range from 2 to 6 hours a day. Anatomy/ultrasound lab (3 hours) will be one to two days a week. Biochem workshop (2 hours) once a week. Expect 1 to 2 tests every week once you get into the quarter.
Note: although you have lecture every day, only about 20 people (from combined DO/Pod classes actually go to lecture, since they are recorded and posted usually within the day. Labs, however, are required.
Also note: it sounds crazy busy, but it is more than manageable. You will have lots of opportunities to get leadership experience and volunteer hours (I got over 40 hours in the first 3 quarters).
2nd quarter:
1. Biochem
2. Anatomy
3. Embryo
4. Histo
5. Physio
6. Biomechanics
7. Interdisciplinary Health (like an hour per quarter)
Same idea. 2 to 6 hours of lecture. 1-2 anatomy/ultrasound labs per week (3 hours each). Biochem workshop once per week (2 hours). Physio workshop (1 hour) every one to two weeks. Expect 1 to 2 tests per week.
3rd quarter:
1. Physio
2. Neuro
3. Podiatric Surgery
4. Immuno
5. Public Health/Ethics
6. Interdisciplinary Health (again, 1 or 2 hours probably)
2 to 7 hours of lecture per day. Physio workshop (1 hour) every one or two weeks. Expect 1 to 3 tests per week.
Summer quarter: All podiatry-related classes. Enjoy some time off. Use your weekends to drive down to Mexico or float the Salt River in Mesa or head to Sedona or Cali or Vegas.
