The results seemed to be  encouraging for the wider implementation of TBR in medical schools, particularly for students who may benefit from an increase in confidence levels. Although TBR is inspired from the idea of team-based learning, this is the first study of its kind exploring its effectiveness.1 View the original paper by Field and colleagues
