Abstract
In the past 20 years, China experienced great improvement in health system, but medical disputes between patients and doctors have increasingly dramatically, reaching an unprecedented level. Strengthening medical graduate law education is an urgent work. In china, Problem-based learning (PBL) as an approach to the instruction of medical students has attracted much attention in recent years. PBL could not only attract students but also improve student’s medical knowledge, clinical reasoning and decision making skills. However, although PBL has been used in a range of different contexts in medical education, they have never previously been used to facilitate the teaching of medical law. In the past three year years, our medical graduates were trained in designed PBL courses. In this paper, we summarize our experience in PBL courses in medical law learning. As a multiple effect, our program promotes medical graduates to have better understanding and mastering medical law in their future clinic practice.
