TBL Consultants are available to help with all phases of team-based learning implementations including:
- planning curriculum for team-based learning
- designing objectives, RATS, and group activities
- facilitation and classroom management
- planning evaluations
- team-based learning research design
Here is a list of some TBL practioners that can provide consulting and workshops services.
Ruth Levine, MD
Professor of Psychiatry
University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, Texas
rlevine@utmb.edu
I have been using TBL in the Psychiatry clerkship since 2002, and in the Neuroscience and Human Behavior course since 2003. I have conducted numerous workshops and assisted faculty in a variety of disciplines to learn about and establish Team-Based Learning programs in medical student, resident, and nursing education. TBL consulting to local, national and international audiences.

Paul Koles, MD
Assistant Professor, Department of Pathology
Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio
paul.koles@wright.edu
I coordinate the education of medical students in pathology across the four-year curriculum, with particular emphasis on the second year integrated organ-based curriculum. I works closely with basic science and clinical faculty to illustrate pathology’s critical role in preparing students for the scientific practice of medicine. After being introduced to team-based learning (TBL) in the spring of 2002, I utilized TBL as the cornerstone of an active learning component in the second-year curriculum, creating over 30 learning modules which attempt to integrate essential content in anatomy, physiology, microbiology, immunology, pathology, pharmacology, and clinical sciences. I have accumulated over 200 hours of live contact time using TBL with medical students, and has taught TBL workshops for faculty in local, regional, and national forums. I enjoy consulting with faculty who are considering adapting TBL to enhance a multidisciplinary medical curriculum.

Edward E. McKee, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Indiana University School of Medicine – South Bend
edemckee@iupui.edu
I have taught the entire Medical Biochemistry and Molecular Biology course at our campus since 1991 and the entire Medical Genetics course since 1992. I obtained training in TBL at several TBL workshops and TBL collaborative meetings. I also spent several days participating with medical students in TBL at the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine. I began using TBL exercises in both of my courses in 2006-2007. I have developed 10 exercises (IRAT/GRAT and applications) in biochemistry and 3 in genetics that have worked well with my classes and received excellent evaluations from my students. I am willing to share these with others and to serve as a consultant to help other medical basic science programs develop TBL. I presented a TBL workshop at the International Association of Medical Science Education and TBL Collaborative Meeting in Salt Lake City, UT, July, 2008 on using TBL in Basic Science teaching. I have recently consulted with Rush Medical College to provide TBL exercises and help establish TBL modules in their Biochemistry curriculum. Initial results at Rush have been quite favorable. I am also presenting a session on TBL in teaching medical biochemistry at the Medical Biochemistry Education Strategies Workshop (April 25-29, 2009) sponsored by the Association of Biochemistry Course Directors.
