These times will vary and may change. Sessions may be on weekends, holidays, evenings and may end before or extend beyond the last date of class listed on the website or in the catalog.
If you complete your supervised practice training sessions with patients at Boutwell’s Landing, you will be required to show proof of COVID vaccination.
