Summary:The goal of this discussion is to summarize the results of the Workshop on Teaching Strategies that was held as part of the Curriculum Conference at Denver, Colorado in July, 1992. Various teaching methods were presented as alternatives to traditional lectures and laboratories; among these problem-based learning (PBL) was the subject of greatest interest. Advantages and disadvantages encountered using PBL in optometric education were presented. The need for a more uniform core curriculum among optometric institutions is emphasized, as well as the need for appropriately trained faculty to teach in the newer curricular areas.
