Friday Classes

Fridays are Focus Days, where all the students are together to do group work, to make up tests or assignments, to listen to guest speakers, or to receive additional instruction. Occasionally, we'll use the day to take field trips or do team-building activities off campus. Focus Day is a required class day.

“I am exposed to many angles about health care, such as research and thinking like a pathologist. In one class, we explore a subject so that we can still use much of what we learned in any future medical career.”
