Anyone? A couple of classmates and I are trying to figure out if our school overbooks us with modules and such.
What is your weekly schedule for 2nd year like?

Normally 3-4 hours a day of lecture (like from 8-12), then a small group session once or twice a week (say 1-3 on Tuesdays and Thursdays).
Then we will have a couple hours of intro to clinical medicine once a week.

-Each block lasts 6 weeks: midterm at end of 3 weeks, final at 6 weeks
-Class 8-noon each day, not mandatory its video recorded.
-occasionally there will be a required workshop in place of a lecture or two.
-about 4-6 hrs a week for required clinical stuff in afternoons, aka "play doctor".

I think my school has an amazing 2nd yr schedule but with the boards looming over your head, it is tough to really feel comfortable. Anyway, we have 2 blocks with 2 classes each. Each wk we have ~2 hrs of lecture per day (on average, some have 3 some have 1 or none). 1 lab and case study session per wk. Tests every 6 wks. It is nice because one of the classes (path 1 and 2) is nearly completely self study so there is thus a lot less lecture time.
