Charles E Engel

Colleagues will be saddened to learn of the death, recently, of Professor Charles Engel. Charles was an early advocate of problem-based learning and was instrumental in getting the approach adopted for the teaching of medicine at the University of Newcastle. After returning to the UK, Charles promoted PBL in a variety of contexts and also encouraged inter-professioanl approaches to teaching, particularly in the health sciences. He will be missed by many.
