Didactic lectures The problems with
traditional didactic lectures is that they often present information that targets one of the many learning style of the students involved.
In addition, the time & resources required to deliver the material is high and often does not completely meet the needs of those who are participating
http://www.axuedu.com/
Pros and Cons of Didactic Lectures
Traditional didactic lectures address the delivery of factual knowledge; however one can question both the effectiveness as well as efficiency of this mode of education
The traditional didactic lecture is more passive in nature & less effective as a teaching tool compared with active learning methods

Knowledge Transfer a Growing Challenge
Effective knowledge transfer is of paramount importance for the maintenance & advancement of our health care system

Traditional Education Methods Need Change
Traditionally, medical education had as its foundation
a combination of didactic instruction in the classroom
& integrated, hands-on "Socratic Method" learning
in the clinical setting
Of late an increase in the use of problem-based learning
discussions (PBLD's)
In an effort to integrate basic science knowledge & clinical
decision making with a goal of teaching critical decision making
skills to upcoming physicians & other health care providers
