Hello Everyone,

I would like some comments on the cirriculum at OU-COM. What do you thing about the Clinical Presentation Continuum vs. the Patient-Centered Continuum. Pros and Cons of both. I am trying to decide which one I like best.

Either track seems pretty good to me. The PCC is better for those that are non-trads with families and stuff i think, or for those that are really independent. Me i don't know i think i am gonna go with the CPC b/c 1. I like knowing what i am supposed to learn and each case you get a set of learning goals. 2. I like going to class (i know, i know) it helps me to hear the info. 3. I am afraid that i would slack too much in the PCC i like a little structure in my life. I think it is a personal decision that you really have to think about. I tried something the other day that i thought would give me some idea about what the pcc was like. I picked a random disease and went to the library and researched it like crazy and saw if i would like to do this every day. it helped me out in making a decision although i am still a little on the fence.

Thanks for the reply. I as well think I would have to go with the CPC. From what I have read about the PCC it seems like it would be great for people interested in research, family practice, or internal medicine.
