What impressed you positively?

"The program really tries to prepare students for the ''real-world'' by emphasizing problem solving and team work through Patient Based Learning modules. (aka PBL's) One of our activities was talking through a PBL case as a group. This gave me a better idea of whether this innovative learning style would work for me.
