Extension of classes

[RamanSingh]

does anyone know why SABA doesn't have physiology 1 & 2, Gross Anatomy 1 & 2, Cell Bio 1 & 2, like Ross and AUC? and how much of a disadvantagous is it not to extend core classes like that? thx

Not sure why they dont have two semesters. but I know that I scored well above the US average on the physio and biochem shelves so it must not be too bad of a disadvantage...

Saba has "accelerated" courses. That is not to say that the same information is not covered.

We don't take more than 1 semester to finish a subject, with the exception of Pathology.

its probably not a disadvantage if you really really apply yourself. But is it a nightmare? Yes. Especially if you have never taken an anatomy course before. If a chiropractor tells you otherwise, ask them how many M.D.s they had going through chiropractor school!

SGU is the same way. In all honesty, I would encourage you to take that kind of thing into consideration, as part of the whole at least, when deciding which school to go to. Doing all of physio or path in one semester is way hard (at least it was for me). I don't have a science background either. Having those classes split into bone anatomy/muscle and vasc, gen path/systemic path etc would have made big differences in my overall comprehension of the subjects (at least i think) and the classes wouldn't have carried so much weight (our path class is 13 credits. pathophys is 14!!!) Obviously, thousands of people have gotten through it, so it can work
