I am just wondering what the patient contact is like in 3rd and 4th years at SCCO. How many patients do you get to see in a day? How much time are you given with each? Do you feel that you are able to gain enough clinical experience.

I am trying to decide between SCCO and Pacific and would really appreciate any info you may have!!

Thank you!

We get 3-4 hour slots, total of 12-18 hours/week depending on your schedule. At each 3-4 hour slot, we typically see 2-4 patients, depending on what the patient comes in for. Yeah we definitely get plenty of clinical experience - lots of patients and very few no-shows.
