This is a sample schedule from the 2015 class. Every week is different; however, this is a good example of what you can expect. But yes, 8:30 every morning (in first year).
A sample day in the life of a Schulich student:
We do a lot more than just lectures here at Schulich. This is an example of what a typical day may look like. Remember the diversity of our class and the many options that you are presented with!
| 7:00 AM |
Time to get healthy with the Schulich Schwarzeneggers 7AM work out club! Nothing gets you ready for your day like a good work out. |
| 8:30 AM |
Class starts. Don’t worry it’s not as bad as it looks, we get breaks every hour and usually small group or anatomy replace lecture at least once a week!
P.S. you get used to the 8:30 lectures more easily than you’d think (and everything gets filmed for podcast) |
| 11:30 AM |
Class is over! Lunch time. We get 2 hours of lunch every day. Most days there are several clubs or interest groups meeting during this time (and most give you free food!). You will probably not want to eat pizza after first semester.
Twice a week, this is the end of your day. You are free to do observerships, study, or catch up on some Jersey Shores. |
| 1:30 PM |
Clinical skills or PCCIA (small group patient-centered discussions). Time to brush up on your physical exams, patient interviewing and the social aspects of medicine. |
| 4:30 PM |
For most people this is the latest you are done class (some people have later scheduled clinical sessions, but it’s uncommon). Study, nap, dinner, evening observership at the ER? The choice is yours. |
| 7:00 PM |
Time for band practice. Each class has its own band! |
| 10:00 PM |
Intramural sports! Choose any one (or more) of dozens of sports! |
