“…PBL involves a progressive theme of provided problems context that has to be built on an integrated prior knowledge 11 and is based on the principles of the adult learning theory which refers to the motivation of the students, encouragement to set goals, and decision-making skills. 12 Barrows had identified many objectives, of which that are considered as main objectives of PBL are self-directed learning skills, internal motivation, structuring knowledge and clinical background, and enhancing clinical rationalization. 1 In addition, the confidence and perception of belonging to the medical schools increased, the exam scores were higher, 13 and a better understanding of the basic science subjects was observed.…”

BackgroundProblem-based learning (PBL) is a method by which students solve clinical scenarios in a small group discussion. The aim of this study was to assess the implementation of PBL in Saudi Universities.MethodsThis is a cross-sectional study including 151 participants from 16 universities. A questionnaire was distributed to the faculty members through e-mail messages. The questionnaire consisted of 35 questions with 5-point Likert scale arranged in three subscales.ResultsThe total mean of PBL implementation score was 2.5 (SD =0.39). The scores of the three PBL implementation subscales showed marked variance, with the average score of the subscale “overall PBL experience in my college” being the most highly affected, with an average score of (3.07, SD =0.72), followed by “implementation of PBL model” (2.36, SD=0.47). The least affected subscale was “preparation for PBL implementation” (2.13, SD =0.67).ConclusionRelatively moderate level of PBL implementation was observed in Saudi Arabia. However, we suggest that more courses should be introduced in order to improve the skills of faculty members and provide a strong infrastructure to implement PBL model in Saudi medical colleges.

“…Unlike traditional passive learning with professor-designed didactic lectures, PBL involves active learning with dynamic interactions between learners and teachers [17]. Students are presented with a challenging problem, and are guided in brainstorming practical solutions with real-world implications [17].…”

Medical students matriculating in the coming years will be faced with treating an expansive increase in the population of older lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) patients. While these patients face healthcare concerns similar to their non-LGBT aging peers, the older LGBT community has distinct healthcare needs and faces well-documented healthcare disparities. In order to reduce these healthcare barriers, medical school curricula must prepare and educate future physicians to treat this population while providing high quality, culturally-competent care. This article addresses some of the unique healthcare needs of the aging LGBT population with an emphasis on social concerns and healthcare disparities. It provides additional curricular recommendations to aid in the progressive augmentation of medical school curricula.

This study aimed to evaluate the perceptions of medical students towards use of Internet in problembased learning (PBL). A descriptive observational approach was followed in analysis of perceptions about use of Internet in a convenience sample of 141 students. A questionnaire was selected after analysis of perceptions received from a pilot study and was divided into three aspects of the PBL sessions. Students' and facilitators' role in PBL, mode and scope of use of Internet in PBL and reasons for use of Internet in PBL. Descriptive analysis of the data was done. Significant difference between the mean values was analysed. A difference in agreement among the students was observed about the role of facilitators in the process of PBL. A higher percentage of students (65.2%) agreed that they used Internet to search for information during PBL Session 1 compared to PBL Session 2 (58.2%). Majority of the students (81%) agreed on searching Internet for new information. Regarding preparation for PBL Session 2, comparatively more students from earlier semesters agreed about using textbooks than using Internet. Higher percentage of students searched Internet for information on clinical sciences (52.5%) compared to basic sciences (24.8%). Among basic science subjects, information related to pathology was searched more often and information on management was searched more often among clinical science topics. Students actively use Internet for searching new information and learning during PBL sessions but online search for journal articles is not popular. They also use textbooks to prepare for PBL session.
