TIPS AND TRICKS SESSIONS

Focused tips and tricks can be helpful to participants, with the bonus of sharing ideas and experiences with expert professionals, for setting up Regional anaesthesia block or pain management in many areas of their daily practice.  Included in registration fee.

PROBLEM BASED LEARNING DISCUSSIONS

The primary focus is to challenge participants by giving them a real world problem to solve, thereby introducing concepts as the solution is teased out of the fabric of the initial problem. Source material for a PBLD is often an interesting case, though not simply a rare syndrome and/or unexpected complication that was managed with a good outcome and no avenues for discussion or controversy. The advantages of incorporating PBL in anesthesia teaching include development of skills like clinical reasoning, critical thinking, and self-directed learning; in addition it also helps in developing a broader perspective of case scenarios.  Included in the registration fee.

ASK THE EXPERT

As a requisite, the participant must provide, in advance –  at the same time as applying for registration, one question to the expert. During the time of the session, the expert must present the questions and answer specifically – or in blocks according to the areas of interest. This will be a very interactive session with audience engagement.
