Abstract:
Systemic review of all the relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was performed. RCTs were identifiedfrom Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE. Limited evidence showed that problem-based learning in continuingmedical education increased participants' knowledge, performance and patients' health. Moderate evidence also showedthat doctors are more satisfied with problem-based learning. Problem-based learning may work in continuing medicaleducation, however,the evidence is too weak to be recommended. Rigorously large sample, well-designed randomizedcontrolled trials are required.[
