Mission Statement - October 2010

    As we continue through our medical education our understanding of the normal and pathologic functioning of the human organism reaches a comprehensive and conceptual level.

    The goal of this book is to aid in reaching this goal. Rather than memorizing facts, we believe in learning how to think like the human body.

    By presenting material in a logical, stepwise fashion the reader is allowed to build their own conceptual framework on the topic.
    Furthermore, by constantly allowing the reader to participate in completing our thoughts, we are facilitating a process of active learning.
    Lastly, the text is designed to be read at the reader's own pace.

    In this sense, we believe our approach to programmed learning captures the most beneficial elements of lecture, small group conferences, and self study.

    We hope you share our enthusiasm for this under utilized form of learning in your educational pursuits.
