The first four years of medical education are designed to help students move toward a number of educational goals. We would like to gauge how you perceive the importance of some of these goals, as well as the extent to which you honestly feel your experience at this medical school has helped you reach them. In the Progress column, please rate the extent to which your experience here, thus far, has helped you move toward each goal. The following list contains different modes of teaching that are part of the medical school curriculum. We would like to know how educationally valuable you think each activity could be , as well as how valuable each actually has been in your own educational experience at this medical school.
Some students change their career plans as they progress through medical school.
A Specialty V. Learning Orientation Students tend to have diverse attitudes toward education, and we would like to assess the diversity within our own student population. The best way to learn something is to talk to another student about it. When reading for a class, I seem to focus more on memorizing important facts than trying to gain a full understanding of the material. Generally, I am comfortable while participating in group discussions. If there is something I want to know, I can always figure out a way to learn it on my own.
