It's probably because most people are not lucky enough to live in Hawaii.🙂

Since we have a couple JABSOM students here, I'd like to talk. What do you like/dislike about JABSOM? I am pretty excited about the possibility of attending, have an interview, and would love to attend if possible.
I know a little about the PBL and self-directed learning, but I would like to learn more. Is it hard to gauge how much you are studying and if you are studying the correct material? I wonder if it is tough with the reduced lecture hours. What do you guys think? Any pointers for me?

hurrah, hawaii?
hmm, anyway, i like jabsom. it is fun here. we have a glorious commie system where everyone teaches everyone else and everyone shares notes and we're one big happy family. seriously. although i hear that only lasts for the first two years. i'm a first-year.
pbl is very high retention (memory retention, i dunno anything about student retention). i personally would have died in any lecture-based med skool because i don't study until right before tests, but in pbl, you are learning at least 1/5 of the material really well (because you have to teach it to the 4 people in your group) and then you learn it from your peers which is kinda cute.
it's hard to know the breadth/depth of your studying, but the school tells us that all med students across the united states have that problem. maybe it's more of a problem with pbl... i dunno, i just look at some board-review books and see what they cover, then try to learn at that level.
i'm probably a bad person to ask because i've only been through three months of this and this was our easier unit (i think the class average for the final exam last year was 90%) and i hear that next unit, they're going to pick up the pace and work us and it will be ridiculous compared to this semester.
i will report back when i am disillusioned.
