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.
