INMED itself is the result of model individuals whose self-sacrificing lifestyle inspired INMED’s leaders to create this organization. Today, INMED is casting a vision the next generation of healthcare professionals to serve the most neglected citizens of our planet. |

FOR THE HYBRID COURSES, IS THE ONLINE PORTION SELF-PACED, OR DO I NEED TO BE ONLINE AT CERTAIN TIMES?
Each week of online learning includes assignments that are all due by Sunday nights. These usually include interactive course content, reading articles and posting to discussion boards, and weekly projects. Fulfilling these activities usually requires 5 to 10 hours each week. CAN I WORK AT MY OWN PACE?
We don’t allow learners to “work at their own pace” thru this course. The weekly discussion forums require you to post and response to one another posts in the course, and the faculty must provide feedback on each learner’s assignments each week. For these reasons and to assure success, all learners must stay within the synchronous environment and on schedule with all the other students in the course.
