Although our own medical education may have led us to believe that a solid base of theoretical knowledge was needed on which to build our clinical knowledge, the evidence of the past 40 years supports the view that we learn best by doing, by experiencing real-life situations, either personally or vicariously through case histories. There is nothing new or startling about this; all this century and well before it, educators have been saying this and lamenting the relative paucity of problem-based learning in schools and universities.
