I suggest emailing her first. They may not be available when you are on campus, and I hear that parking is a NIGHTMARE now. The school removed 800 parking spots from the SPSS lot for some building. And the secret free parking lot near the abandoned Women's and Children's Hospital is locked down-county finally got wise after 20 years....
Strangers stick out like a sore thumb at the review class, and the powers that be check your student ID (which has to have a special sticker on it to even get into the lecture hall), and they sometimes lock the door after lecture begins. The coordinator sits through the lectures near the door and sees everyone coming and going. No recording of any type is allowed and online blackboard is off. Packets are handed out 3 times, and they last about 5 days. Miss a note pickup, lose a copy, dog ate it, whatever, they will not give another. You sign a non-copy/non-distribution waiver form too. They are strict about keeping the review to the students, incoming residents, and paying scholars. The coordinator gives out extra handout goodies (on certain days) that may/may not be useful for the boards. This swag is used to encourage attendance. How useful is the review class? That is debatable....however, Dr. Ng is the author of a couple of the RXPrep book chapters...and Weissman will give you a packet with the key need-to-know stuff. I read Weissman's book twice, read the Q&A at the end, and then knew his packet...more than enough for the measly (7?) law questions I got. The crazy brand/generic topicals/drops/creams/stability/IV to PO conversion/off the wall stuff questions that I had never heard of was much more disturbing than the law. If you worked outpatient in CA, then the law questions are easy. Just memorize the years you need to keep all the documents, staffing rations, what the board wants.
Oh, the review lasted 5 days, then 5 days off, then another 5 days. ~8AM-6+PM.
I know that Western has a review class too, and Weissman lectures to them. I would not be surprised if you could pay to attend Western's review class.
