There's an open thread about block schedules at allopathic schools. Anyone care to share which osteopathic schools have block schedules? This is something I'm very interested in when I apply because I think I'll learn better being able to focus on one subject at a time.
 
UNE has a semi-block for first year. But there is talk that this will change. Second year, however, is total block. One subject at a time, one exam at a time. Now you still have OPP all through the year, and pharm runs concurrently with all short courses.

However, on the bad side, you could have several short courses all together -- and this month I have 5 exams, an H&P, two OMM notes, and two preceptorships. Bunch of short courses.
