Background: The present study was undertaken to determine the opinions of students regarding the advantages and limitations of Problem-based learning (PBL) practices in Ankara University School of Medicine (AUSM). Methods: The study was conducted on 132 (95,7%) second term students who attended PBL sessions during 2003- 2004 academic year at AUSM using a questionnaire. Findings: Results were highly supportive for advantages of PBL such as integration of clinical and basic sciences, improvement of biopsychosocial approach to humans, getting prepared to professional life from the beginning of education, motivation for effective learning in a small group, improvement of communication between students and faculty. But, the results are also highly supportive of the limitations of PBL practice such as the difficulties experienced for adaptation to a new learning approach and to be an independent learner. Conclusions: Program implementations supporting adaptation to PBL and personel development of students and improving tutorial process can be proposed to overcome the limitations of PBL. Enriching the learning environment and learning sources can support students’ self-dependent learning skills.

Conclusions: Program implementations supporting adaptation to PBL and staff development of students and improving tutorial process can be proposed to overcome the limitations of PBL. Enriching the learning environment and learning sources can support students' self-dependent learning skills.
