PBL, Tradtional or Both?

Yeah! I hoped all my pre-interview research wasn't wrong!

If BSMS do PBL it's not very much because it wasn't mentioned at open day etc.
Liverpool is definitely PBL, practically my whole interview was spent talking about it! They have integrated experience too though.

Manchester is integrated, but, this might just be the first semester, as they seem to cover everything in lectures too, just to make sure we get it (the first semester is notoriously the hardest in the whole MBChB!).
But it is, in the main very much PBL-orientated

i would say nottingham is integrated so far...
definitely not pbl anyway!!

lol forgot to mention that the GEP at derby is PBL
(the undergrad course is the integrated one)

Anyone know the status of Newcastle GEP? Various sources are ambiguous.

Newcastle/Durham - Case Led Integrated Approach

For info on the GEP - https://mbbs.ncl.ac.uk/admissions/accelerated_programme - seems to suggest that it's integrated.

Simply:
Traditional is lectures
PBL is... PBL...
Integrated is a mixture, lectures are used as well as PBL

...rite... so sbl is traditional, yeah? makes much more sense, i thort traditional was: sbl teaching format, doing pre-clinical then clinical, whithout seeing patients until you hav finished pre-clinical like oxbridge do... but i suppose not. so for exmaple bristol who do lectures most of the time, are sbl, traditional, even tho u meet patient s in ur first week? oui or maybe non? actually im still confused....
