Thread: time frame

Hey guys i was wondering is spartan 3 years or 4 in total, is it possible to finish in 3 years

are you for real ? the program is 4 years (every program)

Actuall you can do in 2 years, how ? take year 1 & 2 together and year 3&4 together, so save yourself 2 years

Actually, in canada, Mcmaster is 3 years, so not every program is 4 years, have a great day.

Spartan is 9 semesters, 4 basic science, approximately 5 semestersof clinicals. So theoretically "it is" 3 calender years. However, before students begin clinicals , most take off 3 months to write USMLE step 1. Also, during basic sciences and clinicals some students may take time off because it is a great deal of work.

And thats true about McMaster, there med program is 3 years.

McMaster is 3 years?

It is 3 years, but without any summer breaks or time off at all, just a few weeks each year.

You would do 20 months on the island, and 2 years of clinical rotations.

So does it take 3.5yrs to finish this program (as it says in the brochure) or does it take 5yrs to complete (as the homepage says)??? I'm confused on this....

two semesters (8 months) is one calendar year since the school goes by trimesters.
