| Summary: | Abstract This resource is a manual to train medical school faculty on how to facilitate problem-based learning (PBL) groups. It is also a useful tool for schools interested in adopting a PBL curriculum. PBL is a teaching method in which students work together in small groups to acquire new knowledge while solving clinical problems. PBL is the cornerstone of a curriculum which is student-centered and fosters self-regulation, emotional intelligence, and life-long learning. This publication contains a detailed guide that shows how to incorporate PBL into the preclinical years of medical school. There is also a detailed description of what happens in the small groups, as well as two workshops for training new and advanced faculty facilitators. Readers will appreciate the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that are essential for this method of teaching. This manual is used regularly to train PBL facilitators and has been tested and refined over the last 7 years.
