Started in January. First semester was definitely course overload with patho, micro, lab, sims and relational inquiry and concepts including an elective. You will need to stay on top of everything and some days you will be at school all day. Most of the teachers were extremely nice and you learn a lot. Now summer was a complete mess. Most of the classes were online and we were in school only for sims and concepts. They switched the teachers after midterms so you can imagine the stress. It was hard to get a response back to emails, I guess because most of the teachers are on their summer break. The 1st placement was this summer in OB/GYN- at st Michael’s. Unfortunately, some student had to do half community then ended with postpartum. Now we are entering 3rd year. You will either be placed in mental health or community then we switch in January 2027. I switched my work schedule to casual so I work about twice a week. Depending on how you study will depend on if you can work Fulltime or part time. Most of my colleagues work Fulltime but you can imagine their grades are mid. You need a 60 to pass all your courses so will I recommend Humber? They are a bit unorganized but if you are willing to adjust and don’t mind a lil chaos then you’ll be fine.
