We encourage you to apply early if you are interested in any of our educational offerings. We conduct admissions on a rolling basis, and our programs often fill up well before their start dates. If you are planning to apply for one of our programs we strongly suggest that you apply no later than February 1st for the Residency Program; January 15th for the Summer Program; and May 1st for the Extended Unit program. The number of applicants to each of our ACPE accredited programs far exceeds the number of available openings.
