If I miss my cohort session, can I attend the other cohort identical session to make this up?

Cost?

Participants are responsible for ensuring their responsibilities in their local market and that their scheduled shifts and/or clinic hours are appropriately covered.

Can I apply credits for this to an MBA or Master Program?

  • No. This is a separate program.
