2.    The program begins with the first summer term after acceptance (late May) and students complete the rotation as a group.
3.    Due to the fast-paced nature of the program, students are expected to be “full-time” students.  Successful completion of each semester and comprehensive evaluations results in program completion in  December of the following year (approximately 19 months).
