I played a key role in the creation and implementation of the Team-Based Learning teaching technique. As the curriculum committee decided to implement TBL, I started working at Alfaisal University in September 2012. My name was then put forward to be the TBL coordinator and, ultimately, director. After assembling a group of like-minded, committed core faculty members, we replaced PBLs in all of the system-based blocks of year one with TBL, after receiving a briefing and basic training.
