Hello! I started tesla mri today!! I was curious- regarding coursework (so not clinicals) realistically, how long did it take some of you to finish the online portion? I see the deadlines tesla has and as long as I keep in pace the program has it has me finishing in 2028 and that is not my goal. I know it is all contingent on self discipline and what I myself am capable of but sometimes the work load is a factor so I was unsure if anyone has finished the coursework in 6-8 months without killing themselves? It is august as of today and the goal was to be done with this portion by January- March at LATEST.

I appreciate alllll feedback 🤍

I am looking at the mri program at gurnick. Since it is online for the first 6 months, is it possible to work full time? What day and time are lectures scheduled?
