    Problem-based learning for professionalism and scientific integrity training of biomedical graduate students: process evaluation
    with N. L. Jones, A. M. Peiffer, and J. C. Eldridge
    Journal of Medical Ethics 36 (10): 620-626. 2010.
    Objective We conducted a process evaluation to (a) assess the effectiveness of a new problem-based learning curriculum designed to teach professionalism and scientific integrity to biomedical graduate students and (b) modify the course to enhance its relevance and effectiveness. The content presented realistic cases and issues in the practice of science, to promote skill development and to acculturate students to professional norms of science. Method We used 5-step Likert-scaled questions, open-…Read more
