How we learn best ?
Problem Based Learning
Learning result from the process of working
towards understanding or resolution of a
problem.

which uses carefully constructed clinical
problems as a context for students to: define
their learning needs, conduct self-directed
enquiry, integrate theory and practice, and
apply knowledge and skills to develop a
solution to a defined problem.

process and serves as a focus or stimulus for
the application of problem solving or reasoning
skills
