Djmcfadden Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 I am considering applying this summer for the class beginning June 2014. I'm waiting for the website to be updated with the new info regarding the switch to the Master's degree. My question is about the distance learning format. I found a sample program calendar which showed random 3-4 days at a time on campus, maybe twice a month. Is the format still going to be the same? I live 2.5 hours away from Davis and have 2 small kids so this format wouldn't be a problem, but I couldn't be on campus every day. Any information anyone has regarding the format would be great. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NLara Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Hi Djmcfadden From what I know of our class, which starts in June We can expect to be on campus anywhere from 3-5 days a week The whole month at times I too have a family and will possibly be away several weeks at a time I'll ask my classmates to chime in and get back to you!

Djmcfadden Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Thanks! Anything you can find out will help. I'm finishing my Micro class now and have to figure out if I'm going to apply for 2014 or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djmcfadden Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 I'm assuming that's Tuesday-Friday on campus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLara Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Yea, Tues-Fri on campus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djmcfadden Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 So, I didn't think to ask this with that last reply, but obviously it can't be 4 days a week on campus the whole program due to clinical time. Do you know if this is just for the first few months? Or how long? I have emailed the program itself, but have yet to get a reply. Thanks again!

katethegreat1 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I'm a current 1st year and starting with our class they discontinued the distance learning. We are in class usually every T,W,Th with the occasional M or F. I have a feeling they may move into even more as the program continues to develop. This schedule lasts from June of your first year until Aug of your second year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katethegreat1 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Also the medical school/school of nursing are in Sacramento so depending on where you live that may be a bit closer or further. Many of my classmates rent an apartment in Sacramento and go home to their families on the weekend. If you get in, I would highly suggest you think about relocating.

NLara Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 From what I was told by the admission advisor, the new class change includes more of in class room time, and yes, less distant learning Although I do know quizzes and exams are to be done via our personal student accounts called Lotus notes. I will know more in June When we have our orientation Your right, traditionally at Davis clinical's began first year Now however clinical's won't begin until second year So all book work is done during first year Hopefully sometime in May the Davis web page will be updated w/all new program info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djmcfadden Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 I live in Redding so Sac is a little closer I think. Thanks for all the info, I have some thinking to do... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessings!! Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Did they discontinue distance learning...........? Pls confirm? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLara Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 That's right Samina, distant learning is no longer utilized. All course work is done in class room setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FierceDeityMomo Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Just to confirm for NLara, the first year of didactic will all be in class at MedEd (on the UC Davis, Sacramento campus). The second year, which is the clinical year, can have both locations in the Sacramento area, or if you are able to secure a preceptor at home and get it approved by the program, you may do preceptorships away form the area. I hope this helps for any additional clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
