he 2006 Problem-Based Learning Discussion (PBLD) Program consisted of 150 cases that were selected from more than 350 submitted during the open-call process. Each was offered twice during the 2006 Annual Meeting in Chicago, thus allowing attendees more opportunities to be involved in the PBLD program. Attendees responded by filling 96 percent of available seats! The PBLD Committee again wishes to continue the open-call process, which has led to the vibrant nature and ultimate success of the PBLD program.

We are seeking submissions to complete each of the anesthesia tracks that will be offered: ambulatory anesthesia, cardiac anesthesia, critical care medicine, neuroanesthesia, obstetric anesthesia, pain medicine, pediatric anesthesia, regional anesthesia, basic science/clinical anesthesia and professional issues. Cases will be reviewed by several members of the committee for relevance, content, scholarship and conformity to the guidelines that appear on the ASA Web site. All cases must be submitted online in the Annual Meeting section of the ASA Web site <www.ASAhq.org>.

The deadline for submission is February 1.
