7. Team Based Learning

7.2. Why are we using TBL?

TBL has its many advantages including promoting:


1) Active learning

2) Teamwork

3) communication skills

4) Critical thinking. 


It prepares medical students for clinical scenarios where collaboration and problem-solving are essential.


However we do recognise that it does come with its challenges, which may be a new way of learning and adjustments to the traditional lecture-based approach or practice based learning.  We do hope it is enjoyable and a great learning experience for all.
