    What's the Time Commitment Per Week for a Pre-Med Program in School?

    The Quick Answer

    Two sessions per week. Fifty minutes each. That's 1 hour and 40 minutes of live time.

    Sessions run on consistent days — typically Tuesday/Thursday or Monday/Wednesday — set at enrollment so families can plan around them.

    Is There Homework?

    No formal homework. Students update their case file during the session itself, in a dedicated 8-minute silent writing block. There's no separate worksheet or assignment to complete between sessions.

    That said, students who re-read their case file between sessions tend to contribute more actively in the next one. We encourage it but don't require it. Five minutes of review is enough.

    How It Fits Around School

    We designed the program specifically for school-age students who are already busy. The schedule is:

    • No weekend commitments for the Junior Doctors Program (Fellowship uses Saturdays)
    • Consistent timing — same days, same time, every week for 6 weeks
    • No exam prep or memorisation — the learning happens live in the session
    • No parent involvement required during sessions — parents get a brief after each one

    What About Sports, Music, Other Activities?

    Most of our students do 2-3 extracurriculars alongside the program. The 50-minute session length was chosen deliberately — it's the same length as a piano lesson or a tutoring session. It slots into an existing schedule without displacing anything.

    The Total Investment

    Over 6 weeks:

    • 12 sessions total
    • ~10 hours of live instruction
    • 1 case file produced (2-3 pages)
    • 1 certificate issued
    • 6 parent briefs received
    For students considering medicine, those 10 hours build a foundation that compounds for years. It's a small time commitment with an outsized return.
