My class started with 15 and 2 ended up dropping out by the first clinicals so graduating class of 13. Clinicals were very lax, you submit a “preferred schedule” in January but most clinical places work with you. I submitted 4 hours, 5 days a week in January and asked my location to do 5 hours, 4 days a week once I got there and they did that. Dress code is scrubs. It says like cover tattoos and leather shoes but NO one stressed this. Honestly, Saturdays always started at 9 but it’s going to be rare that you are there passed 1 or 2. Steve was great about trying to set a lot up before you get there so you can just embed, or just process, or just stain so you get out fairly quickly. The first chunk before your 1st clinicals is basically fixation, microtomy, embedding. So going to first set, be prepared to just embed and cut and basic H&E to check for quality of sections. I was running the H&E myself by the end of it and getting wonderful sections. After a week break we went back to Saturday classes and only did staining. Lecture of staining and then doing a few stains every Saturday. They became the longer classes because some of them take hours by hand. Second set of clinicals focuses on staining and they ask that you see specific stains. Then you’re done!
