摘要: Problem based learning is one of the best described methods interactive learning, and many claim it more effective than traditional in terms lifelong skills, fun.1 In early 1990s, four systematic reviews undergraduate medical education cautiously supported short term long outcomes problem compared with learning.2–5 Since then, curricula have changed to but a recent review has questioned value education.6 Postgraduate continuing differ from that they go beyond increasing knowledge skills improving physician competence performance practice, ultimately leading better patient health.7 may also be this context.8 There some evidence sessions can change professional there been few well conducted trials. 9 10 We could find no effectiveness education. Controlled evaluation studies provide educational methods, line movement education.11 We therefore literature out if effective. ### Summary points Reviews support learning The education, however, not reviewed This controlled found limited increased participants' patients' health There was moderate doctors are satisfied learning ### Literature search We searched …
