Tutorial Rooms and Problem-Based Learning Implementation

In line with the shift towards modern medical education, the Faculty of Medicine, Unpad, has implemented the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) method as its core teaching approach.

The tutorial rooms are equipped with various facilities to enhance interactive learning, including:

• A mini library for additional literature resources.
• Computers with internet access.
• Continuous access to online journals for research and academic reference.
• Some rooms are fitted with air conditioning and LCD projectors to facilitate presentations.

Currently, the FK Unpad Jatinangor campus boasts 70 tutorial rooms spread across three main buildings: A2, A4, and A5. These facilities are aimed at providing an optimal learning environment, fostering clinical skills development, and enhancing student-teacher interactions in a case-based learning process.
