The ineffectiveness of the existing training model in Indonesia, especially for remote area health center managers, needs to develop a Problem Based Learning model that is appropriate to the problems in the area. The research method uses quasi-experimental, pre-test and post-test control group design. The study subjects consisted of 26 Public Health Centre heads from remote areas in South Sulawesi Province. The data collection instrument used was pre-test and post-test with Alpha Cronbach reliability coefficient of 0.938. The results showed that group competencies taught with Problem Based Learning (χ=88.72) were better than group competencies taught by direct learning methods (χ=73.33). Results showed a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group (p=.022). The correlation coefficient between the post-test score and the answer score of the Problem Based Learning worksheet shows positive significance (p=.000). The use of Problem Based Learning in teaching planning material results in the planning of community health centers in accordance with the problems found in the working area. © 2019, Journal for the Education of Gifted Young.
