title: [Problem-based learning during surgery courses--good experiences with combination curriculum].
abstract: Problem solving and critical thinking are important components of problem based learning (PBL). The driving forces are the students' interest, involvement and sense of responsibility. A curriculum comprising a combination of PBL and conventional instruction was introduced during the surgery course at Huddinge Hospital in the autumn term 1993. The results showed the level of knowledge attained by the students to be comparable with that attained under conventional instruction. The authors of the article conclude that good results can be obtained by introducing PBL in isolated sections of medical education within the framework of an otherwise traditional curriculum.
