Description of a Canadian PBL Programme in Pharmacology.
J Pak Med Assoc Jan ;54(4):170-2.

In recent years, there have been numerous discussions, conferences and workshops on PBL as a teaching format in Pakistani medical colleges and universities. Experts in medical education from different parts of the world have been inducted to facilitate the shift from lecture-based to problem-based learning in the Pakistani -context. I studied pharmacology at McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada (Graduate of the class of 2002) in PBL format, as part of the undergraduate Biology and Pharmacology Co-op programme (Bio/Pharm programme), which has been extensively described. The purpose of this communication is to describe the programme and its main strengths, for the benefit of those who are involved in planning such programmes/ courses in Pakistan, and for students who are going through the process. This is a review article.
