3rd year MBBS students compete in inaugural PBL Feud Championships

The PBL Feud Champions of 2015 - Group 1, along with
the host Fiona Foley and A/Prof. Laila Rotstein

3rd Year Central Clinical School medical students at the Alfred have competed in the first annual PBL Feud Championships, held in May 2015. 14 groups started the competition, a creation of A/Prof. Laila Rotstein based loosely on Family Feud. Contestants fought it out across 2 weeks to reveal responses to PBL-based questions generated by Dr. Kah Peck and A/Prof. Laila Rotstein, trying to avoid the dreaded and noisy “X”. It was a great opportunity for the students to revise the material that they have been covering and there was some healthy competition going on! Of course, there can be only one winner and Group 1 took out the honors, winning prizes and bragging rights! See more about the Alfred based medical undergraduate program.

They have developed an interactive learning system, unique to Monash, which is now available for the University’s third year medical students. The Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences (FMNHS) developed AXM (Augmented eXperience Modules) to help students rapidly update their knowledge on a range of medical and surgical conditions. AXM was funded and supported by the Faculty. The official launch was 6 Oct 2014. See links:
