before applying for that residency.

may consist of you spending a few hours in the morning w/ your small group discussing a case, and then
having the rest of the day to self-study on lab tests, medications, and diseases/disorders to continue the
discussion the next day. While there still are some lectures, most learning is done based on examples of
cases.
Integrated Content Delivery - Answer -Incorporates problem-based learning (PBL) into a traditional
