Workshop

Description: Workshops are a mainstay for professional society meetings and a testament to educational scholarship. They are intended for problem-solving, sharing new ideas, and developing new skills. Work or active learning transpires during these sessions engaging participants and making the educational process fun again. Have you always wanted to lead a workshop but did not know where to start? Using the session as a model, the group will dissect the components of creating a workshop – selecting a topic, reviewing the session structure, designing activities, and identifying a “take-home” product. After introductions, a review of the learning objectives, and audience assessment, this session will begin with a focused mini-didactic describing a workshop. A large group brain-share will debate the pros and cons of various topics and select one. Using the topic identified, small groups will develop learning objectives for their session and consider various activities to solidify the expected learning. After a report out from the different groups, they will reconvene to address a take-home product from the session to be applied at the participant's home institution. The session will conclude with tips for submitting a competitive workshop proposal for a professional meeting. Templates and tip sheets will be provided to participants.

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe the components of creating a workshop for presentation at a professional society meeting
2. Demonstrate the process of designing a workshop.
3. Discuss the process of writing a competitive abstract submission.
