Problem-based curriculum: outcome evaluation.

Abstract:

:The College of Medicine and Medical Sciences of the Arabian Gulf University (CMMS-AGU) in Bahrain is, in its innovativeness, unique in the region in that a problem-based strategy is used in the planning and implementation of the curriculum. The first batch of graduates have completed their internship programme in the different countries of the region. This paper presents an evaluative study of the outcome of the programme in relation to the institutional goals. Assessment of the intern's performance in clinical competence, interpersonal relations, self-directed learning, and their relative standing vis-à-vis graduates from other schools was done by supervisors. The findings of the study confirm the relative merits of the problem-based curricular strategy in medical education.
