What do you like least?

Many of the professors openly reject teaching board material. Although it is a good idea, in theory, the problem is that it results in our focus being directed towards information we are supposed to be taught in our third and fourth years (or even residency). It's equally possible that the information we are taught has little-to-no medical relevance. I assume this has to do with the recycling of lectures given to our students receiving their master's degrees. With our focus directed elsewhere, we are not allowed the opportunity to reflect or to develop the scientific principles that would enable us to think critically and apply solutions to new problems. RVU's curriculum is thus based on memory rather than understanding... Consequently, we are ill-prepared for boards.
