How to use the search string above. Copy and paste the string into the PubMed search box and press search. This will create a large result set of articles published in the listed journals. If you do a concept search separately and then add both searches together on the Advanced page, your results will include articles published in the listed journals that are indexed for the concept you searched. The most effective concept search should use keywords and MeSH topics. The link to the Advanced page is under the PubMed search box. 

Here is an example of a concept search for problem-based learning using the MeSH term and keywords. Once this search is completed, join it to the journal set search string above using AND. 

"Problem-Based Learning"[Mesh] OR "problem based learning" OR "problem based curriculum" OR "problem based curricula" OR "experiential learning" OR "active learning"

Here is what the unified search string would look like: 

("Acad Med"[Journal] OR "Med Educ"[Journal] OR "J Dent Educ"[Journal] OR "Eval Health Prof"[Journal] OR "J Nurs Educ"[Journal] OR "Am J Pharm Educ"[Journal] OR "J Contin Educ Health Prof"[Journal] OR "Med Teach"[Journal] OR "Adv Health Sci Educ Theory Pract"[Journal] OR "Teach Learn Med"[Journal]) AND ("Problem-Based Learning"[Mesh] OR "problem based learning" OR "problem based curriculum" OR "problem based curricula" OR "experiential learning" OR "active learning")

On 7/29/2019 this search resulted in 2605 results. You can add to the journal set by following the format in the string and making sure that any added journals are indexed in the NLM Catalog for MEDLINE.
