Adult learning theory, problem based learning, and paediatrics.

Abstract

A medical student faints at the sight of blood.Wouldyou expect his pulse to befast or slow?What underlying mechanism caused his fainting?'This is the kind of problem that first year medical students in a problem based learning curriculum are asked to investi- gate, while their counterparts in traditional medical curricula are trying to memorise the names of all the holes in the skull.
