SNACC 2008 Annual Meeting
October 17, 2008
Orlando, Florida |
|

The Subcommittee on Education introduces a new initiative: a web-based
problem-based learning discussion (PBLD).
Web-based PBLD is
conceptually similar to the PBLD presented at the ASA Annual Meeting and
the PGA. It commonly includes:
(a) three-to-four learning objectives
(b) case for discussion
(c) several set of questions
(d)
discussion. Questions would be interspersed throughout the case.
Initially, the subcommittee plans to introduce one case every two
months. New questions will be posted every two weeks. A reader is able
to write a short opinion or suggest an approach to solve a particular
problem. A moderator will be responsible for reviewing the opinion,
respond to each participant, as well as post a "correct" answer at the
end of each period (approximately two weeks). It is appreciated if the
attending anesthesiologists would encourage their residents to
participate in the discussion. The subcommittee believes that a
web-based PBLD will play an important role in meeting the educational
needs of practicing anesthesiologists as well as residents.
SNACC members are encouraged to submit their cases. A member of the Subcommittee on Education will review the submissions.
