Dangit I wish I had $325 to spare. The SLAM course is usually twice that. My education money for the next little bit is getting ready to go to Will Wingfield though.

I just paid for the 2 day adult / pedi course and the extra 2 hour 4 station cadaver lab.

Evidently the best time to skip during the entire 2 days (for the extra cadaver time) is the first 2 hours of the first day. The lady said there is a lot of introductory material that most people don't mind missing. There are still 10 slots in this time frame, so if you have the scrilla, there's room.
