TL;DR
This study explored how students linked PBL and clinical experiences and found that the students used clinical experience as a means of elaborating their knowledge either at the time of encountering an appropriate patient or by bringing their experiences back to the PBL group for discussion.
Abstract
The model will be of benefit as the authors try to improve the course for those students who were unable to use their clinical experiences to achieve the goals of their PBL discussions.

BMJQualitative Research: Consensus methods for medical and health services research
3,522 Citations1995Jeremy Jones, Duncan Hunter
Two consensus methods commonly adopted in medical, nursing, and health services research--the Delphi process and the nominal group technique (also known as the expert panel)--are described, together with the most appropriate situations for using them.
Medical EducationA taxonomy of problem‐based learning methods
2,249 Citations1986Howard S. Barrows
A taxonomy is proposed to facilitate an awareness of differences in quality and in the educational objectives that can be achieved and to help teachers choose a problem‐based learning method most appropriate for their students.
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.
Academic MedicineThe adult learner
134 Citations1999Geoff Norman
A critical analysis of adult learning theory suggests that the fundamental assumptions remain largely untested, and a critical analysis suggests that they may be largely a product of the environment in which adults find themselves rather than of any innate differences between adults and children.
Medical EducationThe use of the nominal group technique as an evaluative tool in medical undergraduate education
102 Citations1999Lloyd‐Jones, Fowell +1 more
The nominal group technique (NGT) has been used for various purposes, including course evaluation, and appears well suited to this application, and combines qualitative and quantitative components in a structured interaction which minimizes the influences of the researcher, and of group dynamics.

In 1994, a new problem‐based leaning (PBL) curriculum for year 1 medical students was introduced at the University of Manchester and has continued into the clinical clerkships.

To identify the core content for the new undergraduate medical curriculum in Manchester, the University of Manchester's Centre for Medical Education and Research has used a database of more than 1,000 undergraduate medical courses from around the world to identify the key subjects.

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.
Teaching and Learning in MedicineReview of the literature on PBL in the clinical setting
43 Citations1997Richard Foley, Alasdair L. Poison +1 more
There remains a dire need for more experimental studies to warrant the extensive use of problem‐based learning in the clinical setting and for authors to describe how their program fits or departs from a PBL taxonomy and provide enough detail to permit others to replicate it.

At the medical faculty of the University of Antwerp, student focus groups were used to evaluate the process of training basic clinical and procedural skills during clerkships, finding that in this conventional medical school, clerkships resemble a mix of many unstructured educational events.
