Hotkiss: We have spring break in the winter because we just finished a system so it is ideal to break between systems than within one.

Our semester is made up of systems (such as hematology, neuroscience, musculoskeletal). Our curriculum is more system based than semester based.

        Well, there is a basic knowledge base that everyone needs to have after the first 2 years. However, each school is free to design their own curriculum - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 28, 21:32
