students' education by placing them with
specially trained advisors who can guide
them throughout their career.
• An advisor is a caring heart, a watchful eye,
and a coach, to help students achieve their
goals and become the best medical
professionals.
• It is also a must to monitor the development
of the students- in academics, in
professionalism, and in their own wellness.

meaning four times per semester) with individual
students to give feedback on academic progress
and role in group, recorded on provided forms.
Assess the progress of the group and of the
individuals in the group
Be the first port of call for academic problems
14. PBL TUTOR/ADVISOR ROLE

How have you been settling in?
What do you think of PBL so far?
What has gone well?
What, perhaps, has gone less well?

School, should be aware of?
