Interest in TBL: In 2014 I heard of TBL the first  when I was working in a team on the document that described the didactic concept of the new undergraduate medical bachelor curriculum. The chair of the team mentioned TBL as a new teaching method. I wonder what that could be. I never heard of it before. So I started finding out what TBL exactly is. The redesigned bachelor curriculum embraced active learning in small groups as core didactic concept and TBL is one of the forms, which is implemented.

During the process of redesigning the curriculum I had the chance to deepen my knowledge of TBL and to qualify me in TBL-skills, so I can advise, coach and train faculty in the use of TBL. My expertise focusses on TBL in medical curricula.
