You actually learn to rationalize your way through the pathophysiology and can synthesize the information in new situations (the way you will be doing when you're actually a doctor) as opposed to rote memorization and regurgitation which has been the case in almost every other module thus far - and again in pulmonary. I will actually remember this stuff for a long time instead of forgetting it Monday afternoon when we get done with the test. Great job Dr Hogan/Ellis!!
p.s. after the fact I read through Costanzo's Physiology textbook and Dr Hogan was spot-on withe everything. I assume (as I haven't yet taken Step 1) that we will be well-prepared for cardio questions on the boards.
