TLDR
This book presents the scientific basis of problem-based learning and goes on to describe the approaches to problem- based medical learning that have been developed over the years at McMaster University, largely by Barrows and Tamblyn.Abstract:
In this book, the authors address some basic problems in the learning of biomedical science, medicine, and the other health sciences Students in most medical schools, especially in basic science courses, are required to memorize a large number of ""facts,"" facts which may or may not be relevant to medical practice Problem-based learning has two fundamental postulates--the learning through problem-solving is much more effective for creating a body of knowledge usable in the future, and that physician skills most important for patients are problem-solving skills, rather than memory skills This book presents the scientific basis of problem-based learning and goes on to describe the approaches to problem-based medical learning that have been developed over the years at McMaster University, largely by Barrows and Tamblynread more

Successful use of problem-based learning in a third-year pediatric clerkship.
TL;DR: Use of PBL in a clinical clerkship was associated with higher scores on the NBME subject examination and increased student satisfaction, and these results should encourage the use of P BL during the clinical years.

Curriculum Integration in Medical Education: A Theoretical Review
Hani Atwa,Enas Gouda +1 more
TL;DR: The subject of curriculum integration has been under discussion off and on for the last half century, with a resurgence occurring over the past decade as mentioned in this paper, and the "explosion" of knowledge, the increase of state mandates related to myriad issues, fragmented teaching schedules, concerns about curriculum relevancy, and a lack of connections and relationships among disciplines have all been cited as reasons for a move towards an integrated curriculum.

‘Where is the post‐modern truth we have lost in reductionist knowledge?’ A curriculum’s epitaph
TL;DR: The authors proposes a curriculum philosophy that is fundamentally heuristic, with a radically eclectic, contingent character, for creating a curriculum for the future amidst the challenges of post-modern uncertainty, and proposes a heuristic curriculum philosophy for the holistic nature of life.
