Yesterday we spent most of the day at the botanical gardens with a few of
the students who had enough spare time to take us there. It was great to get
away fro the hustle and bustle of they city – quiet enough to hear your
thoughts and some beautiful scenery as well!
Today was the final day of the PBL. Again, it was very useful to see what
the students needed help with, as well as how they went about learning the PBL
material. PBL is a huge component at PAHS, much larger than at many of the
Canadian medical schools. Consequently, much of the learning is done in the students
self study time. This definitely has benefits -- the students are becoming
highly proficient in being able to find information on their own, something
that will be essential later in their career. However, it does take a lot
longer to find the material than if it was presented in lectures and the
students still need a bit of help on finding the best resources to use. Maybe
something one of the groups of med students can help with!
