N2  - To incorporate problem-based learning activities into an elective pharmacy research course and evaluate their effects on students' knowledge and confidence in analyzing, designing, and presenting basic research projects related to clinical topics.Interactive learning experiences, such as discussions on study design, creation of conceptual diagrams, project planning, interpretation of results, data assessment, and preparation of presentations, were integrated into the course as team-based activities.At the semester's end, students delivered seminar presentations to classmates and faculty, and they prepared posters for display at professional conferences. Students opting to extend their project into the next semester were required to generate data potentially suitable for manuscript submission to peer-reviewed journals.Student feedback indicated greater appreciation and renewed enthusiasm for examining clinical problems from a broader perspective, along with improved comprehension and self-assurance in applying insights from basic science research data.
