  5. ‘So what was originally a negative focus turned around. One said: “Well, if you really want to do that you can't schedule lectures, you've got to start with problems and those problems really should be clinically related […] , and you want to teach them how to assimilate knowledge around those problems on a continuing basis”’. John Evans, 1979 Interview conducted by J. McAuley on 28/09/79 at McMaster University, FHS/McM 17-79 - Hannah Chair in the History of Medicine, McMaster University.

  9. “These were the three didactic or organizational principles: student autonomy, right to define their own study orientation and content; problem-orientation, which was defining the curriculum not by disciplines, sub-disciplines, but by issues, problems that should be pursued; interdisciplinarity, which was getting rid of disciplinary boundaries. And the project work was, so to say, the practical implementation of these principles”. Henning Selling Olesen, 2013 Interview conducted by V. Servant on 04/01/13 at Roskilde University in the context of doctoral research.

  11. “There was a lot of talk about “problem-solving”. And these students should become good “problem-solvers”. […] What is solving a medical problem? For the doctors, it’s clear, it’s finding the right diagnosis and then the right treatment. But these students are not doctors. They are students. They have to understand a problem rather than solve it. They have to understand what happens in the human body that produces the signs and symptoms that these patients have”. Henk Schmidt, 2013 Interview conducted by V. Servant on 26/04/13 at Erasmus University Rotterdam in the context of doctoral research.
