Workshops

Southern Illinois University School of Medicine offers its Problem Based Learning Workshop and Standardized Patients Workshop at its Springfield campus.

Virtual Problem Based Learning (PBL) Workshop

The PBL workshop focuses on teaching medical educators to implement a problem-based learning curriculum. SIU has been at the forefront of  PBL since its inception. The late Dr. Howard Barrows, who was instrumental in creating PBL, was in residence at SIU until his retirement. This PBL workshop is based on his work and will allow participants to experience PBL in its most classical sense, as well as to discuss changes to the classical format to address students' needs.
