A structured problem-based learning (PBL) tutorial format was found to be acceptable and effective. Students and faculty recommended the new format for improving basic science and clinical knowledge and information evaluation skills.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Curriculum Development

Background:

  • University of New Mexico School of Medicine employs a hybrid pre-clinical curriculum.
  • A structured tutorial format was piloted for the human sexuality/reproduction block's problem-based learning (PBL) component.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the acceptability and effectiveness of a structured PBL tutorial format versus a traditional PBL tutorial.

Main Methods:

  • Student surveys were conducted after traditional (renal/endocrinology) and structured (human sexuality/reproduction) PBL blocks.
  • Surveys assessed learning quality and tutorial quality.
  • Student and tutor attitudes towards the structured format were surveyed in subsequent years.
  • Response means were compared using t-tests.

Main Results:

  • Students reported greater improvement in basic science knowledge, clinical knowledge, and information evaluation with the structured format (p < 0.05).
  • A majority of students and tutors recommended the structured format for other curriculum blocks.

Conclusions:

  • The structured tutorial format is acceptable to both students and faculty.
  • Faculty perceived enhanced depth of learning and student participation in the structured format.
