Durlinga, Sorry it took so long but this is not really the thread for this answer.
Your schedule varies every semester.
For the first two years: You get a lunch from 12p to 1 pm usually. There are 2 - 2hr classes in the morning (starting at 8am and 10 am) and 1 - 2hr classes in the afternoon (starting at 1pm).
On the worst schedule days there is an 7am class that is clinical and a 3pm to 5pm lab. This is rare to have on the same day. Ocsasionally you will have a 3pm to 8pm stint in a clinic.
In general it is a full work week. A lot of the time you get off at noon or have a class released early.
Most classes are 2hrs but end up with a 10 min break in between 1 and second hour and sometimes end at 10 of the second hour. 5 hr clinics give breaks and you have to wait for patients.
Some people think it is too much time in class but it is really Quite fair.
For the second two years you are more like an intern in the hospital, but you get home early most days. You do have periods of Guardia where you are in the hospital non-stop. It is like being on "in-house-call."
