2002 PBLD Program — Open Call for Case Submissions
Meg A. Rosenblatt, M.D., Chair
Committee on Problem-Based Learning Discussions
The 10th year of the Problem-Based Learning Discussion
(PBLD) Program at the ASA Annual Meeting included many new
cases chosen from the open selection process. In an effort
to maintain the vitality and relevance of the PBLD program,
the Committee on Problem-Based Learning Discussions again
wishes to solicit new cases for possible inclusion in the
2002 program.
Any member of ASA is invited to submit a PBLD case to the
committee for review and possible selection for the 2002
ASA Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida. We are looking for
controversial topics, compelling true cases and areas where
there are content gaps in the current program.
For the 2002 program, all cases both new and old will be
reviewed by the committee for their relevance, enigma, content,
conformity to guidelines and clarity of presentation. This
year, for the first time, all cases must be submitted
online. All submissions must conform to the guidelines
for PBLD cases as described in the 2001 Problem-Based Learning
Discussion CD-ROM and on the ASA Web site <www.ASAhq.org/AnnMtg/PBLD>.
These include: title, objectives, case, model case discussion
and references.
Deadline for submission of PBLD cases is February 15,
2002.
