From this point of view Moi University adopted the PBL. This study aims to assess the lecturers’ knowledge and perception regarding problem-based learning (PBL). Participants were 65 lecturers in the College of Health Sciences. Self-administered questionnaires were used in data collection. Data analysis done utilizing SPSS 22. The overall response rate was 100 % (N=65), 38% (25) had PBL knowledge at joining program, 34 (52%) viewed program graduates as independent, innovative and creative.
