Can any current students comment on the curriculum at Oregon? How much of it is passive learning (lectures) vs active learning? Detail is soooo appreciated. Thank you!

I did, but that would be posting to students just starting their first year. Hoping to hear from current students just finishing their first year (this class). Thanks though!

The curriculum is basically split into morning and afternoon. Mornings tend to be lectures that (pre-COVID) were in person as well as uploaded online so students can choose what works for them. Most have interactive pieces (multiple choice questions, case studies, breakout groups). Afternoons have clinical skills labs where you learn physical exam components and discuss ethics, communication, and other patient-physician related topics as they pertain to the practice of medicine. Afternoons can also involve colleges sessions where you meet with smaller groups into the similar specialty genre as you, and other sessions with case studies, patient panels, preceptorship, etc. I really like the curriculum because you learn the bulk of the material early in the week and then they create opportunities to implement and utilize that knowledge on realistic cases later in the week, as well as hold office hours and other review type sessions. You can go to as much or as little as you want.
