Abstract:
The Directorate of Occupational Therapy at Salford University adopted a modified problem-based learning (PBL) approach in March 2004. In recent years, PBL has received mixed reviews as a teaching method within occupational therapy education. As some directorates of occupational therapy consider the introduction of a PBL approach within their curriculum, others are turning away. The authors of this opinion piece have 2 years' experience in delivering a PBL curriculum and have developed an awareness of both the advantages and the pitfalls of this style of educational delivery.Document Type: Short communication
