AB Problem-based  learning  is  now  established  as  the  preferred  method  in  clinical  medicine.  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.
