title: Problem-based learning: concept, theories, effectiveness and application to radiology teaching.
abstract: Australian and New Zealand medical schools are partly or entirely incorporating problem-based learning (PBL) in their medical school curricula. As this change moves forwards and gathers momentum, radiologists are called upon to facilitate or to contribute to PBL tutorials. This study explains the concept and the theories of PBL and discusses its application to radiology teaching.
