Description

Worldwide many universities have adapted integrated problem-based learning (PBL) programs with the aim to enhance students’ deep understanding and application of knowledge.  However, the introduction of such programs is a demanding process and requires resources, a lot of planning, and organisation. In this webinar we will discuss practical tips for preparing a PBL program and highlight a number of challenges that might be encountered in this process and how to resolve them. The presenter uses his accumulated experience in this area and will provide you with up-to-date educational principles in designing such programs. This webinar will be suitable for curriculum developers, directors of education units as well as medical and allied health educators.
