Problem solving cases in teaching of applied pathology

A ‘problem solving case’ method of teaching practical pathology is described, illustrated and compared with more traditional teaching methods. This method offers many advantages‐the most important being that it shows the effect of pathological lesions in an actual patient, thus emphasizing the relevance of pathology to clinical medicine. Other advantages are that self‐assessment is encouraged; guidance is given on the depth of knowledge expected from a student; student response is favourable; no elaborate or expensive equipment is required; the method is economic in the use of staff time, and it is very flexible in use in terms both of time and place.
