Highlights
Problem based learning (PBL) first started in the Faculty of Health Sciences at the McMaster University in 1969
More than 60% of the students perceived that PBL stimulated their learning environment, while many perceived that PBLs enabled them to practice teamwork and problem solving skills

Summary
Problem based learning (PBL) first started in the Faculty of Health Sciences at the McMaster University in 1969. A number of Malaysian universities including the University Malaysia Sarawak has undertaken the challenge of adopting this approach into the present medical curriculum. PBL integrates some fundamental educational principles, and has been found to be an effective and active learning method (Malik and Malik, 2001). This method has allowed students to correlate the knowledge gained in basic sciences with clinical scenarios (University Malaysia Sarawak, 2001).
