Implication

Review demonstrates that blended problem-based learning enhances clinical reasoning and guideline adherence in postgraduate medical education, indicating superior efficacy over standard lectures.

Key Points

To review the utility and implementation of blended problem-based learning combined with traditional didactic lectures in postgraduate continuing medical education.
Review of adult learning theories comparing traditional didactic lecture models against participant-centered problem-based learning formats in continuing medical education.
Evaluation of a blended framework pairing real-world clinical case breakout discussions with immediate, context-specific follow-up lectures.
Blended problem-based learning strengthens critical thinking, team collaboration, clinical reasoning, and shared decision-making compared to isolated didactic lectures.
Contextual post-case lectures directly target identified knowledge gaps, reinforce clinical practice guidelines, and promote sustained improvements in physician practice behavior.
Practical adoption in postgraduate education faces challenges involving logistical limitations, facilitator training demands, and inconsistent uptake across medical specialties.
