A Study of Non-Volunteer Faculty in a Problem-based Curriculum.

Maxwell, Joseph A.; Wilkerson, Luann

Academic Medicine, v65 n9 suppl pS13-14 Sep 1990

A curriculum involving reduced lecture time, small-group tutorials, a commitment to problem-based learning (PBL), and a strong reliance on self-directed study, was implemented at Harvard Medical School in 1985. This study focuses on the attitudes of 14 faculty tutors who had never tutored in a PBL curriculum. (MLW)
