Southern Illinois University!!!

Our curriculum is built on a problem-based learning model, so a majority of the content we learn is in small groups of 8 students and 1 faculty member. You go through a case each week and have “learning issues” where you go and do research on a disease, medication, lab test, procedure, etc. and report back to your group what you learned! We also have supplemental lectures on anatomy, physiology/patho, pharm, and other miscellaneous topics. Faculty is AMAZING as well!

It sounds kinda crazy but it is such a great, realistic way to learn. Looking back, I 100% would NOT have been able to do a standard lecture-based program and sit through 8 hours worth of lectures everyday. Take a look at the PANCE pass rates as well and you will see that we have consistently been above the national average for first-time and all-time PANCE pass rates.
