Abstract

In 1991, a Korean medical school implemented PBL. We review the historical development of PBL and survey the current status of PBL in Korean medical schools. Most Korean medical schools have adopted various hybrid forms of PBL. We discuss the reasons why hybrid PBL is extensively implemented in Korea. Finally, we forecast the future of PBL in Korean medical schools. In conclusion, more student-centered learning modalities including PBL will have to be introduced to Korean medical schools.
