Schools with PBL?

Hi Guys,

Can we put together a list of schools that have a curriculum with all PBL or partial PBL? 👍

USC i think 100% PBL
Case is partial
and Harvard is partial I'm pretty sure.

I don't know about any others.

Indiana is incorporating PBL now.... partially.

how about UPenn?

100% PBL is a nightmare (from what i've heard)...

@ Maryland the closest thing we got to PBL is what they call Case Based Conferences (CBCs), where we are given a list of 20 questions that we must answer using peer-reviewed publications combined with what we've been taught in lecture. on the due date, we are all broken up into groups of 20 students, and each student is assigned a question they must answer in presentation format. anyways...

i guess what i'm getting to is that Maryland is not PBL and has no intentions of going that way--a total PBL curriculum has not been proven.

jb!🙂

What is problem based learning exactly, as far as a ciriculum for dental school

Isn't it just basically doing a lot of learning by case studies and in smaller groups? I think you take cases or problems and learn from them. Kinda like that physiology class we had mailman.

Yep, exactly what it is. You get a case, a patient with symptoms, and you and your group of 8 (usually) figure out (by doing research) not only the diagnosis but how the disease is affecting the patient, and in order to figure that out you must know what organs are being affected, how they are being affected, how they work normally, what treatments there are for the problem, etc. I like it because it makes for very memorable learning experiences. its much easier to remember facts because you can tie them to people (albeit made up or with names changed).
The problem with this is that a group of 8 in 2 weeks time can't possibly go into all of the molecular biology, biochemistry, anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology of every single case, so sometimes the learning can fall short.

That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. So true. Those kids at Pitt should quit Med-school and go into comedy writing.

It's pretty pathetic, knowing those kids will be playing with people's lives one day🙁

Lighten up.

You can't get through dental school without a sense of humor.
