  9. Asking Clinical Questions • Background Questions(PBL1, Learning Questions) • general knowledge • many sources in HSL • [database, e-Books, e-Journals, • OvidMEDLINE,PubMed, TUSK, etc.] • Foreground Questions(PBL2, advanced LQ’s) • specific knowledge to make a clinical decision • 3 or 4 essential components • Patient and/or Problem • Intervention • Comparative intervention (…optional, if relevant) • Clinical Outcome

  10. P4 Cases *H. S. Barrows

  11. PBL core materials on TUSK….. …linked inside all group folders 4 - 5 students 1 facilitator per tutorial group Group - works through VP case (using ‘global’ navigation) ….individual work (LQs) outside group ..….....each group folder is unique ……….PICO submitted to librarian 45 – 50 PBL tutorial groups Background + ForegroundLQs

  12. *P4 Portable Patient Problem Pack • A simulated patient (cards TUSK) • An exercise in clinical reasoning • EVIDENCE: select History • EVIDENCE:select Exam • EVIDENCE:select Tests and Procedures • EVIDENCE: select Consultants • Manage the patient’s problem *H. S. Barrows
