Chinese Education and Society, v47 n3 p106-110 May-Jun 2014
One major challenge of developing problem-based learning (PBL) curricula in medical schools in China is to meet the requirements of sufficient qualified PBL tutors.

Although our study indicates that it was effective for student's learning, we note that several challenges still exist.
