courses require as much, if not more, preparation on the part of the student as face-to-face
courses.

Students who are successful in hybrid and full DE courses are expected to be accountable,
motivated, and able to work independently. Active and frequent participation in the hybrid or full
DE course is crucial to academic success.

For both hybrid and full DE courses, students are required to participate in online activities such
as instructor to student discussion, student to student discussion, quizzes, examinations, and
other online exercises as identified in the respective course syllabi and course calendar. Students
are required to attend all face-to-face activities in hybrid courses.

Class and Clinical Rotations
Classes are scheduled between the hours of 12:00 pm and 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday,
and Thursday. Hybrid class assignments will be posted on Monday and will be due on the
following Sunday by midnight unless otherwise posted. Spiritual Perspectives will be held on
Thursday afternoon during the first 10 weeks of school. Selected courses have laboratories taught
concurrently with the lecture content. This format provides the student with hands-on experience
and visual reinforcement of the principles learned in the classroom. A schedule of classes
outlining meeting times is distributed at the beginning of the program during New Student
Orientation.

Students are required to participate in the clinical setting beginning after the first eleven weeks of
instruction. Student rotation sites include Baptist Health Medical Center-Little Rock (BHMC-
LR), Baptist Health Medical Center-North Little Rock (BHMC-NLR), Arkansas Children’s
Hospital (ACH), and other sleep labs accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine
(AASM), as approved.

During weeks 12-22 of the first semester each student will attend two (2) clinical meetings each
week. Clinical slots will run approximately 4.5 hours per meeting. Most evening clinical slots are
available on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Space is limited. All clinical
assignments will be made by the Program Director. During the first eight (8) weeks of the second
semester, each student will be assigned one evening clinical meeting (5 hours) and one overnight
clinical meeting (10 hours) per week. The following eight (8) weeks each student will be
assigned two (2) overnight clinical meetings (10 hours each) per week. The last 5 weeks of the
semester, each student will be assigned one evening clinical meeting (5 hours) and one overnight
clinical meeting (10 hours) each week.
Note: Exact days and times may vary based on the specific site of rotation.
