Problem-based learning in psychiatry for medical undergraduates: An opportunity to enrich psychiatry training in competency-based medical education

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The National Medical Commission implemented a competency-based medical curriculum (CBME) for medical students from 2019 to enhance their learning, emphasising self-directed learning, life-long learning, and professional skills. The new curriculum emphasises novel teaching- learning (TL) methods like problem-based learning (PBL), and emphasis has been placed on the psychomotor and affective domains of learning in addition to the cognitive domain. Despite the shift in TL methods, the potential opportunities and challenges in adopting the PBL-based approach are under-discussed in the Indian literature. We discuss PBL as a mode of TL in psychiatry in the CBME.
