Does repeated case presentation help a medical student?

My friend in postings, had presented the same case 4 times to various professors during our medicine postings, because other students hadn't prepared their cases. Did he became better each time presenting the same case?
That, the teacher will decide, but he almost learnt the entire case by heart eventually. Ml

So, if someone has presented lots of cases during the years of MBBS clinical postings, does that student become better at case presentations / better clinician or it just doesn't matter??

I think it's a sigmoid curve with a plateau. Initially you'll become better and better at presentation but eventually it will saturate. Then only the right lobe of brain and the flow of thoughts in a person's mind will be helpful in marginally increasing the presentation skills.
