What a way to engage adult learners! In the medical field where I lecture, emerging technologies and new evidence can overwhelm practitioners. Patient healing or reducing complications or adverse events may depend on clinicians using the latest knowledge. Are there plans to use this in medical training? The mentorship model is already present in this field.</p> Fabulous! What a way to engage adult learners!

Both the web-based lecture and the PPT file were useful, with the latter containing more detail, but the former more pleasant to the eye. Web-based version had some of the bottom lines covered by the banner. Don't drop the banner though:it's useful reminder of source and where you are in the presentation. Rather than "Shortcomings" as the title for the one slide, I'd call it "Opportunities to Improve" or something like that. I'd rate this website 4 of 5 stars!
