WISE MD at Surgical Education Week 2010

The practical application of on line educational tools to the Surgical Clerkship:  a user’s guide to WISE-MD and the PowerPoint Teaching Modules.

Friday, April 23 at 1:30 PM and again at 3:30 PM

This workshop is designed to help clerkship directors to incorporate WISE-MD and the Association of Surgical Education (ASE) PowerPoint Teaching Modules for more effective integration of such computer-assisted learning innovations into their clerkship.  With learners’ and educators’ time at a premium, these tools allow for flexibility and cover a wide range of topics.  Participants will discover ways in which these tools can enhance and broaden learner knowledge, enable educators to cover a wide range of topics in both small and large group formats, and permit ongoing assessment and feedback to the learners.  We will also encourage those clerkship directors currently using these tools to share their experiences with, and thoughts on the surgical modules. This workshop will help to benefit both novice and experienced educators  

You can also stop by and see us at Booth #14 in the exhibit hall. We will be happy to tell you more about our surgical modules and answer any questions you have about integrating them into your clerkship.
