PROBLEMS
"Problems" sessions will be used as a springboard to emphasize key concepts and to synthesize materials presented in lectures. No new materials will be presented in these sessions and, therefore, no questions regarding these problems will appear on the exams. A variety of formats will be utilized. Many of the problems will include clinical case studies. Others will be used to synthesize or review materials presented in lectures. For some of the problems you will be responsible for defining learning objectives. We want students to participate fully in these discussions. We hope that you will utilize this time to the fullest extent to gain a better perspective to materials covered in lectures.
