This article focuses on a unique method of approaching medical education. It outlines the role of a service-based medical instructional resources unit within a three-year curriculum and emphasizes the consolidation of an instructional philosophy in one centralized learning resource center. This dynamic approach incorporates the evolving technological tools of communication and may serve as a model for other educational institutions considering a break from a traditional four-year rigid curriculum to a more flexible, self-paced learning environment.
