  Introduction: The way of transforming medical knowledge and findings has great importance in medical sciences. Today, because of changing behavioral and cognitive sciences traditional Classroom-based teaching methods couldn't be so useful thus, medical education needs new teaching methods. One new approach that meet the current needs of medical education is constructivism. The authors of this paper studied medical education based on constructivism and elements of this approach have been explored. This is a review article in the field of studying teaching approaches of medical sciences.  Reviewing of existing documents show that problem-based learning, cognitive approach and reflective writing that often use in clinical education to obtain insight in clinical thinking, are constructivism approaches in medical education.
