TL;DR
In conventional medical education, the undergraduate student is given specific learning objectives in a particular discipline (for example biochemistry), and the students cram as much as possible in order to pass the examination.

It is recommended that caution be exercised in making comprehensive, curriculum‐wide conversions to PBL until more is learned about (1) the extent to which faculty should direct students throughout medical training, (2) PBL methods that are less costly, (3) cognitive‐processing weaknesses shown by PBL students, and (4) the apparent high resource utilization by P BL graduates.

There is no evidence that PBL curricula result in any improvement in general, content-free problem-solving skills, and there are several potential advantages for students' learning claimed for problem-based learning.
Medical EducationFoundations of problem‐based learning: some explanatory notes
762 Citations1993Henk G. Schmidt
It is argued that problem‐based learning, above all, promotes the activation of prior knowledge and its elaboration and that the processing of new information is indeed facilitated by discussion of a relevant problem.
Medical EducationThe effect of assessments and examinations on the learning of medical students
494 Citations1983David Newble, K. Jaeger
A situation where an alteration in the final‐year assessment scheme led to changes in student learning activities which were the exact opposite of those intended is described.
Academic MedicineInfluence of tutorsʼ subject-matter expertise on student effort and achievement in problem-based learning

The results indicate that the assumption in the literature that tutors do not necessarily need content knowledge so long as they are skilled in the tutoring process is not entirely justified: the students who were guided by content experts achieved somewhat better and spent more time on self-directed learning.
Academic MedicineResolving inconsistencies in tutor expertise research
115 Citations1994Henk G. Schmidt
The results suggest that students need a minimum level of structure in order to profit from problem-based instruction and may explain the widely divergent results of tutor-expertise research.
