b'Guide to Digital ClerkshipsKNOWLEDGE & CASE EXPERIENCEPurpose and Techniques for Small Group Discussions.IntroCase X serves well as a proxy for experience through real-life cases coupled with problem-based learning. While the cases were originally designed for self-directed learning, they also excel in a group dynamic.The following techniques can help everyone get the most out of working through Case X in groups. I did this for years. The only difference? My sessions were live. But I employed the same strategiesteams of learners solving real cases with me acting as a discussant. These are strategies I shared in faculty development curricula for other Core Faculty in my program. Where I had tables of learners to float between, you have Zoom breakout rooms. The teams remain confined to their group while you move between them, allowing for small group discussion with supervision.The cases themselves have expert opinion, the answer. Students dont need the answer from you. They need clarity, direction, vision, and context. There will be bumps in getting started, but our goal is to make the road less rocky.- Dustyn Williams, MD and the OnlineMedEd team OnlineMedEd. All rights reserved. 5'
