Abstract

This article is a critically reflective account discussing the practical application of Problem Based Learning (PBL) in Health Professional Education (HPE). The authors reflect upon their experiences as Nurse Teachers introduced to PBL as an educational approach. The processes of PBL including group formation, trigger development and facilitation skills will be discussed. The experience was found to be challenging, but it is recognised that learning about and implementing PBL was worthwhile and rewarding.
