Editing Problem-based learning (section)

===Medical schools===
Several medical schools have incorporated problem-based learning into their curricula following the lead of [[McMaster University Medical School]], using real patient cases to teach students how to think like a clinician. More than eighty percent of medical schools in the United States now have some form of problem-based learning in their programs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/55419.php |title=Problem-Based Learning Curriculum A Success For Medical School |publisher=Medicalnewstoday.com |access-date=2012-11-16}}</ref> Research of 10 years of data from the [[University of Missouri School of Medicine]] indicates that PBL has a positive effect on the students' competency as physicians after graduation.<ref name="Koh" />

In 2002, [[UC Berkeley – UCSF Joint Medical Program]] (JMP), an accredited five year Master of Science/Medical Doctorate Program housed at [[University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health]], began offering a 100% case based curriculum to their students in their pre-clerkship years. The curriculum integrates the basic and preclinical sciences while fostering an understanding of the biological, social, and moral contexts of human health and disease. The students spend their last two clerkship years at [[University of California, San Francisco]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sph.berkeley.edu/jmp|title=UC Berkeley School of Public Health |access-date=2014-01-29|date=2013-09-10 }}</ref>
