Therefore there is not a specific time commitment that you are expected to complete I-PREP within. While registration is open for a year, you are encouraged to engage with the material as much or as little as you find relevant and useful in preparing you for future practicums. Previous students have found that &#8220;a few hours&#8221; per module over the span of 2-3 weeks to be quite doable. During the initial meetings with your I-PREP Faculty Member, you should discuss a tentative timeline and check in with them during the midpoint meeting about any changes you might want to make to it.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Contact Info:<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you have any questions about I-PREP, registering, etc, you can contact the I-PREP team at the following emails:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nGabriella Wong: <a href=\"mailto:gabriella.wong@ubc.ca\">gabriella.wong@ubc.ca<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAsal Taheri: <a href=\"mailto:asal.taheri@ubc.ca\">asal.taheri@ubc.ca<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Registration:<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nInterested in registering for I-PREP and feeling more ready for your next practicum?
