What is problem-based learning? Problem-based learning, or PBL, is a pedagogical practice employed in many medical schools. While there are numerous variants of the technique, the approach includes the presentation of an applied problem to a small group of students who engage in discussion over several sessions.
Emerging as one of the many pieces to the puzzle is the adoption of pathways based on evidence-based medicine (EBM).It has long been theorized that the use of standardized care models not only improves the quality of care, but also reduces costs and makes costs more predictable.ne way in which EBM can help reduce the costs of cancer care is by optimizing the appropriate use of less expensive drugs. When pathways are developed, it will often be found that evidence supports the use of less expensive therapies, without compromising outcomes or increasing toxicity.
