Probably depends on the school. Ours was 8 mandatory days.

For my school, it was a week of a lot of lectures/paperwork on administration and class schedules and stuff during the day, and at night the M2s had a bunch of optional but fun social activities for us. One of those nights we had White Coat Ceremony, and on the last day of orientation (and of your non-studying life), we had registration.

To put it briefly, a bunch of bullllsh!it with the usual high school clique-sampling.

Ours was three days. The first two during the day was full of administrative paperwork and stuff...filling out vaccination and medical history paperwork, registering your email access, hours and hours of hippa talks, several more hours on needlesticks and hygiene, etc. It was pretty long and tedious. At night both days we had social mixers with food and drinks. The third day was "team-building" activities that were kind of lame and included some outdoor games and mini-activities.

Yep. Think Kevin Bacon in Animal House. "Thank you sir may I have another". Followed by the ritual body shaving and branding. Then tarring and feathering, parading you around the psych ward blindfolded wearing nothing but your smile. If you survive this, they stick a white coat on you and call you student doctor. It gets worse the second day.
