description The pedagogical project in the Medical School of a University Center, in São Paulo, Brazil, was designed to meet the requirements of the Brazilian national medical curriculum guidelines, aiming to graduate generalist physicians with humanist, critical and reflective skills who are able to work at different levels of the health care system. Adopting the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) methodology in a large portion of the curriculum meets this purpose. The first two years of the curriculum have six months long modules that develop integrated and interdisciplinary content, approaching the basic premedical sciences, and they are given along with the syllabus called “Introduction to PBL”, in which clinical problems related to the concepts of basic sciences taught in modules are discussed. The main objective of “Introduction to PBL” is the development of clinical reasoning skills and encouraging the pursuit of knowledge through self-directed study. This paper is a report of the experience with that discipline in the second semester of the Medical School course. We present the historical context and conceptual framework of the methodology, the problems discussed with the students in our syllabus and the concepts of basic sciences related to them, the role of tutors, the challenges encountered and the methods of assessment used.
