What type of Medical School education is best??
I have the choice between a university with "Problem based learning" and one with the traditional medical school model. I cannot find what exactly a traditional medical school model is. Could anyone point me to a chart or table summarizing the key aspects of PBL in medical school Versus the traditional education style? Thanks!!

The traditional method of medical learning has been given a new label–Evidence Based Learning.
Duke University has a good discussion about it: http://www.hsl.unc.edu/service.....elcome.htm
Since you have the choice, I recommend going to the school that uses the PBL method. You’ll learn more, you’ll become a better physician and the NBME shelf exams and the USMLE Step exams use the PBL format.
