What is PBP?

A framework to organize resident presentations to faculty members in continuity clinic.

Why PBP?

An organized, efficient presentation is critical for effective patient care and teaching in resident continuity clinic. SOAP style presentations work well for hospitalized patients and outpatients with a single chief complaint but is not effective for continuity clinic.  Problem Based Presentation (PBP)  keeps residents organized and facilitates faculty teaching.
