Blueprint for Problem-based Learning Implementation and Outcomes

Blueprint for Problem-based Learning Implementation and Outcomes

Problem-based learning (PBL) has been a valuable addition to health-based curricula and has enhanced education through discussion, research, and critical analysis of evidence in a peer-supported learning format. In PBL, the problem serves as a stimulus and helps students’ clinical decision-making by connecting basic knowledge with clinical application. The PBL format in dental education is based on adult learning theory approach where adult learners are independent, self-directed, interested in problem-solving approaches and motivated by internal rather than external drives. PBL-enhanced curriculum requires students to function at a higher level of autonomy and creativity than a traditional curriculum.

Join us for this live webinar where Dr. Chaitanya Puranik will share how University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine implemented PBL in its Pediatric Dentistry Predoctoral Program. During this presentation, Dr. Puranik will discuss the blueprint of the implementation process as well as outcomes after the implementation. He’ll also explore the multiple strategies for evaluations, and the benefits to student progress and learning. 

Learning Objectives: 

  • Discuss detailed planning and implementation of PBL in a predoctoral dental program.
  • Analyze a video example of a PBL student assessment from a predoctoral dental program.
  • Discuss the outcomes of PBL implementation in a predoctoral dental program.
