I couldn't find a good description about this on their website. I think I know what it is, kinda like Northwestern's. But I have read many discussions on the Tech interview thread, just can't find anything about it on Tech website. Please help. Thanks.

I think they're going to teach it system by system, so for a number of weeks you only learn one system and are then tested on it. Then you move to another - I'm not sure if it's organs or what a "system" is but it looks pretty organized. Because it's new I'd be hesitant but in theory it looks good.

Personally I think this is a good way to learn and integrate vast information. Northwestern has been approaching education that way for years. But the Tech's SOM website doesn't have anything on it.
