The Humble Rounds

Special Thanks to everyone who showed up for the humble rounds.

The idea is simple. Get together, discuss and share knowledge. To stimulate thought, each person starts off with a presenting complaint. The audience then plays doctors, going through the history, examination, investigations, and differentials.

Learning tangentially; in the context of something you are engaged in; is the most effective way to learn.

A scribe records the proceeds (cases and discussion). The minutes are then emailed out. This allows everyone to refresh their memory of the cases - a simple step that takes less than 5 minutes, yet solidifies knowledge in one's working memory.

Feedback has been very positive. Two rounds have already been done.

The next round will be held on Tuesday 22/5/12.
