Abstract
This paper describes a tutorial programme developed at the University of Western Australia (UWA) to enhance medical students’ learning processes within problem-based learning contexts. The programme encourages students to use more effective learning approaches by scaffolding the development of effective problem-solving strategies, and by reducing examination anxiety. The programme adds to a growing body of work on methods to augment problem-based teaching practices in psychiatry education.
