I enjoy putting a rolling powerpoint up prior to the students coming to class on the first day.  They take an interest in whatever the topic is and I believe it is committed to memory when we get on a bigger level of the topic.

Retention is important and problems need to be addressed as they occur and not left to work themselves out sometimes.  I tell my students that they are important to me and that I want them to know as much as possible when it is time to sit for boards and to take care of patients and that no problem is too big to evaluate to try to find solutions.  This means involving student affairs, and management in some problems immediately.

Thank you.
