1. What is your day like? How many hours do you work per day? How many days per week? Do you get time for gym, etc.?
2. Do you get time to study for the Step 1?
3. Do they teach you stuff like taking BP, setting up IVs, drawing blood, etc.?
4. How many IAU students are there with you?
5. Can I opt out of the Kaplan program for another program of my choice?
Thanks!

Yeah, ditto on above, kind'a.
1. For me, there was a lot of waiting around in the hospital during ICM... days were about 8-4. There was time to work out, and study. However, I was too exhausted to do either.
2. There was time to study... but no energy.
3. Physical Exam and vitals, like BP is taught during basic sciences at IAU, though you can learn it from your classmates during ICM, if needed. Blood draws, and setting up IVs is more for Nursing. So you wont learn it specifically, though you may get a chance to pick up on it on the ward.
4. 4 others with me
5. I think you can do "Pass", Falcon, or any other classroom review
