Our 10-Day Intensives offer a densely concentrated version of the Four-Week Program. Keep in mind that the two-week program is an intensive! Expect daylong sessions with homework requiring up to three to five hours nightly. As this course has very limited enrollment, only students dedicated to staying abreast of all assignments and coursework are expected to enroll. Until further notice: All Medical HELP courses will be online-only, with a limit of 6 students per course. Contact us soon to reserve your spot in the course.
