| pubmed-article:11503542 | pubmed:abstractText | The Faculty of Medicine at the National University of Singapore was founded in 1905 and has trained many generations of medical practitioners. Teaching has been based on a traditional British-style curriculum with 2 years of training in the basic clinical sciences and 3 years in the clinical disciplines. Starting in the academic year 1999-2000, a more integrated curriculum was introduced. In conjunction with this, approximately one-fifth of the curriculum time was dedicated to problem-based learning (PBL). This will be the first time that PBL is being implemented in the medical school and both staff and students will be new at it. Thus, the objective of this study was to gather information on the reactions of both staff and students after the actual implementation. | lld:pubmed |
