Problem-based learning (PBL) was implemented in medical education to enhance the neurosciences curriculum. Evaluation showed positive student performance and feedback, guiding future course development.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Neuroscience Education
  • Curriculum Development

Background:

  • A Curriculum Task Force recommended problem-based learning (PBL) as a key educational strategy.
  • This led to proposed changes in traditional medical curricula.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and evolution of a problem-based learning course in neurosciences.
  • To outline curriculum planning, design, implementation, and evaluation processes.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a PBL course in neurosciences at Dalhousie University Faculty of Medicine.
  • Detailed description of curriculum planning, design, and implementation phases.
  • Course evaluation including student performance and feedback analysis.
