Abstract:The use of problem-based learning as part of a vocational training scheme for vocational dental practitioners is described and evaluated. Problem-based learning is currently viewed as an effective means of delivering medical education and has been adopted as a principal style of education by many undergraduate medical and dental schools around the world.
Valuable feedback was received from delegates. This will enable improvements to be made in future courses so that the effectiveness of PBL can be optimised.
