Abstract:
To evaluate the effect of problem-based learning (PBL) in internal medicine teaching for residency training of general medicine.Fifty two residents of general medicine were divided randomly into PBL teaching and traditional teaching groups with 26 in each.The evaluation was conducted in combination of examination scores and questionnaire survey in both groups.In questionnaire survey the residents of PBL group responded positively about the use of PBL in teaching, and rated themselves as having much better competencies in problem solving and self-directed learning.The scores of case analysis examination in PBL group were higher than those in traditional teaching group ( 73.7 ± 4.1 vs.71.1 ± 4.8, P < 0.05 ).The results suggest that the application of PBL has better effect than traditional teaching in residency training of general medicine.
