Abstract:
This paper traces the evolution of PBL in
the International Medical University over a period
of twenty years; since its inception in 1992 till 2012.
It is a record of the reasons for the evolution, the people
involved and the strategies adopted. The PBL in IMU
has metamorphosed over the years from a paper-based
complete case history into its present form of staggered
release of information, paper-based or otherwise (videos,
web-based, newspaper cuttings, debates). Strategies to
improve student and facilitator buy-in, strengthening
of facilitator training, adoption of PBL templates,
innovations to improve student participation are
discussed.
