Teaching method
What is Problem-Based Learning?

The main emphasis of problem-based learning (PBL) is on small group working, centred around a ‘problem’ or scenario. These scenarios are hypothetical patient cases.

This integrated approach, centred on PBL, and grounded in a robust scientific understanding, strong clinical knowledge and highly developed communication and clinical reasoning skills, allows you to develop life-long skills that will be crucial to your success as a doctor.
