Do Americans have a say in how we teach?
The dean of medicine at the University of Alberta says it's "inappropriate" that a U.S. accreditation group has proposed putting the school's medical undergraduate program on probation.
The U.S.-based Liaison Committee on Medical Education sent a letter in October warning of its plans, citing concerns over the school's teaching style. The committee said the school should rely less on traditional lecture-based lessons and more on "active learning."
