The Medical Council of India has recommended that the learning process should include a problem-oriented approach and case studies in addition to other teaching-learning methods. The medical education unit at our college planned a workshop to enable the faculty to acquire the role of a facilitator; a role different from that of a conventional teacher. ⋯ Two faculty development workshops created awareness and understanding of PBL and case writing for PBL among our faculty who were trained in the traditional system of teaching. However, responses from the faculty suggested that a workshop focused on developing facilitator skills would be essential to enable them to emerge as facilitators of group learning ratherthan providers of information.
