Background: Problem-based learning has been considered an alternative approach to learning through which many students have enabled themselves to acquire knowledge from an unclear medium of wrong and correct answers. Problem-based learning can offer students opportunities to engage with complexity and help them see ambiguity and learn to manage the ambiguities that prevail in professional practice. Despite known benefits, the effect of this mode on the learning experience of Prosthetics and Orthotics students has never been tested. Study design: Qualitative pilot study Methods: A grounded theory methodology was adopted, and a focus group of five fourth-year students was interviewed to explore and evaluate the students' perceptions. Results: Students have shared their insights and experience in research-informed clinical practice. They stated that this is an excellent method of education in the transaction of the curriculum in Prosthetics and Orthotics. They elucidated its benefits and advocated in favor of research-informed clinical practice. Conclusion: Students promulgated that their learning experience and level of clinical practice have improved significantly after the intervention of research-informed clinical practice. It is a methodology that simulates self-learning and allows the students to practice when facing real situations and to identify their knowledge deficiencies. Students can observe their progress in developing knowledge and skills, becoming aware of their development. This may lead to more knowledgeable graduates equipped with enhanced clinical practice.
