Everyone that attends IAU for the first time feels overwhelmed a bit by case. It’s a natural feeling because when you first get here, you have no idea what to expect from case. Throw in the fact that the amount of material they expect you to learn in a short period of time (a week) seems quite daunting. However as the week do progress and the semesters roll by, you realize that the glue that holds together that big chunk of knowledge (aka what you learn in the first two years of med school) is ingrained because of case. Applying what you learn with case makes retention much easier on the students. While it might not seem that way at first, everyone always changes there minds later on....


just my four cents....
