Clip Context

  • “Homeostasis I,” a first-year required course at Harvard Medical School with 40 students enrolled. 
  • This course pushes student groups to apply their textbook learning to realistic cases and reach new understandings together through relevant case-based collaborative learning (CBCL) sessions. The course is taught by a team of doctors, led by Cockrill. 
  • This clip comes near the middle of the hour-long video as Cockrill turns students’ laughter about the case into a teachable moment, drawing on personal experience.
