Objectives
This workshop aims to introduce students to the principles and practice of problem-based learning (PBL) in health professions education based on the vast experience that has been gained at Maastricht over more than 25 years of problem-based education.
Each participant should become aware of the psychological background of PBL and its translation into curriculum design and student assessment. Furthermore, following their individual interests, participants can pay special attention to different aspects of PBL, such as block construction, skills training, functioning of tutorial groups, the role of resources, practical medical training, programme evaluation, and management of education.
