Summary. In this study we investigate how the introductory phase of the problem‐based medical programme in Maastricht affects the study methods of students. On the first day of the academic year, 142 men and women medical students completed the Short Inventory of Study Approaches and again at the end of the introductory period. The study indicates that these study methods are fostered by training in problem‐based learning given during the introductory period.
