Well, here it is. Tomorrow is my first day of class. Orientation went well. It gave us all a chance to learn the names of our fellow classmates, pick up some tips from upperclassmen, and get comfortable before the onslaught of information in front of us. My class is very diverse. People come from a lot of different backgrounds and experiences, and range in age from 20 to about 50. More kids are coming straight out of college and into this field, but it is still a very popular second, third, fourth, whatever career. The faculty members who we met this week reinforced why I chose this school. Just wonderful, thoughtful people all around who are really dedicated to seeing Naturopathic Medicine flourish.
This first week is called "Intensives Week." We have two classes, Philosophy and History of Naturopathic Medicine and a Psych class called Healthy Communication, each 4 hours a day. They do it this way so they can fly in experts in those particular fields to teach us. This week should serve to get us further comfortable with our surroundings. The other good part is we get 4 credits out of the way in the first week, with ONLY 22 credits remaining this quarter (That number jumps to 24.5 in Q2, and 27.5 in Q3).
Next week, however, is when it really hits us. Regional Anatomy w/ cadaver lab (fun!), Embryology, Histology, Biochem, and Intro to Homeopathic Medicine. Yea, they really pour it on.
