For this 6 week simulated rotation, I’ve made up a schedule for you to follow.
If you prefer, you can bypass the schedule and go directly to the interactions that interest you. But I think you will miss out on some of the sequential training that is built into the daily schedule. For some topics, it’s better to start off simple and then move to the complex.
Another reason for following the schedule is that there is a large amount of material to learn. This learning is best if it is spread out over many days and weeks. The schedule will maintain a light but steady pace, insuring you’ll easily cover all of the material by the end of the rotation.
