Br Dent J. 1999 Feb 27;186(4 Spec No):192-5. doi: 10.1038/sj.bdj.4800060.

Abstract

A problem-based learning approach was used for the 'teaching' of a fourth-year bridge course in an attempt to improve student learning and academic performance in the clinical environment. The introduction of problem-based learning requires careful planning as to the desired educational objectives and design.
