I think someone has already posted this before, but if not...
Here's how it worked in Erie this year: There were lectures and labs scheduled 8-5 almost every day for the first 13 weeks (anatomy, embryo, histo and OMM). We didn't actually have to spend 8 hours a day, every single day at school because the anatomy labs were split into groups, and if your group wasn't scheduled, you got a free afternoon. Every Friday afternoon, we met with our PBL groups for 2 hours to work on cases. After the finals for embryo, histo and anatomy, we had around a week and a half to finish up the cases, finish our reading, then take our first PBL exam.
During that first 13 week block, we also had to do our core compentency tests for biochem (first 9 chapters), pharm (first 5 chapters) and we were supposed to do path, but got it pushed back until after the first PBL exam.
After that, we only had to go to school for OMM, our group meetings and little classes like Spirituality in Medicine, Ethics, Heath Care Management.
I hope this helps a little! If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.
