Keep in mind BT, that day 1 is actually over 8 months into the program. But don't worry, they have a plethera of simulation, full time professors, and lots of tuition money to afford more resources that the other programs simply can't get their hands on.

Wouldn't you want a clinicial to teach your airway/regional class anyway? I don't see why a practicing AA/Anesthesiologist is a bad thing. Especially when the next day you spend all day in the OR with them actually working the case. Maybe I'm just crazy though.
