Summary
Problem-based learning (PBL) is widely adopted in Korean medical schools, often as a hybrid model. Successful PBL implementation requires faculty training and well-developed case studies.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Curriculum Development
- Pedagogy
Background:
- Problem-based learning (PBL) is an educational approach gaining traction in medical schools.
- Understanding the current state of PBL implementation is crucial for optimizing its effectiveness.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the adoption and evaluation of problem-based learning (PBL) in Korean medical education.
- To identify how medical schools in Korea are implementing PBL and assessing its impact.
Main Methods:
- A survey was conducted among 40 medical schools in Korea.
- A 22-question questionnaire was emailed to participants to gather data on PBL implementation and evaluation.
Main Results:
- 35 out of 40 medical schools (87.5%) reported using PBL, with most (85.7%) employing a hybrid PBL model.
- Over 70% of faculty perceived PBL positively, and 85.7% intend to maintain or expand its use.
- Challenges include faculty understanding, student engagement, insufficient case materials, and accreditation-driven implementation.
Conclusions:
- Hybrid PBL models are prevalent in Korean medical education.
- Effective PBL requires dedicated tutor training and the development of high-quality learning cases.

The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.
