q2 · i? · review · r3
Small study of 468 participants in Japan comparing graduates from two tracts (PBL and non-PBL curriculum) at Tokyo Women's Medical University, an all-female cohort aged 25–53 graduating 1989–2003. The review reports "more non-PBL graduates were working in primary care (9%)" with no significance mentioned.
"Although this study found that more non-PBL graduates were working in primary care (9%) there was no significance mentioned and no associated P values."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Kaufman et al. found significantly more PBL students retained or switched to an interest in primary care during medical school (P = 0.05) — related
- PBL-based medical curricula do not predispose students to a career in a specific specialty, with 7 of 11 studies showing no significant difference in career choice between PBL and non-PBL graduates — a broader claim this one bears on
- Three studies reported a significantly increased number of PBL graduates working in primary care compared to non-PBL graduates — reports the opposite
- One study found significantly fewer PBL graduates working in primary care, with the authors suggesting medical school admission as a confounding factor — reports the opposite
- Woodward et al. found no significant difference in specialty choice but PBL graduates held a greater number of certificates in family medicine — related
