TESTIMONIALS
“The TTR compendium has been an incredibly valuable tool for me as a course director. In areas where we are looking to expand our content, the resources provided have been so helpful as a spring board from which to tailor sessions to meet the needs of our course. As a smaller medical school, the specialty specific content has been particularly useful.”
—Jennifer Hasvold, MD, University of South Dakota Sanford School of Medicine
“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for these ready to use specialty-specific high yield sessions as a busy academic internist. Including these sessions helps ensure some course curriculum is congruent across institutions for future residency success of our students and we get appreciative feedback from our students as well for these interactive case-based learnings.”
—Joy Bulger Beck, MD, MS at University of Arizona, Tucson
“I led a group session with our Family Medicine Clinical Track students covering content from cases in both vital signs and cross cover in March of 2023. I found the students engaged, eager to learn, grateful for the review of key topics they knew they would likely see on first days and weeks of intern year. I found the cases relevant content for interns as well. Thanks for building this - made my life easier! ”
—Allison Macerollo, MD at Ohio State College of Medicine
