Lane - I had an interesting meeting
last year regarding TBL with Dr. Brigitte Sicat, pharmacy faculty member
here at Virginia Commonwealth University. I hope she doesn't mind
me passing her name along to you as a resource as you develop your new
pharm curriculum using TBL.

We are starting a new school of pharmacy and we are exploring using TBL
as a primary method of teaching for the curriculum. Fortunately, we are
able to build the curriculum from ground zero and all of our faculty believe
in the potential of TBL (many of us have experience with PBL) so we have
little resistance to a change in the "right" way of teaching.
In order to help us get a jump start with developing the units, can anyone
recommend examples of courses in the biological or biomedical sciences
that we could review?
Thanks! Any assistance is appreciated greatly.
