TBL may be successfully delivered across multiple courses and in all years of an undergraduate medical curriculum. Consistent delivery of TBL on a large scale benefits from a centrally managed curriculum team, with consistent adherence to established TBL principles. Key factors that can contribute to the success of a large-scale TBL curriculum include “team-centric” learning spaces, an integrated e-learning ecosystem customized to support all phases of the TBL process, and teaching teams in which experts in pedagogical process (TBL Facilitators) co-teach with experts in subject matter (Content Experts).
