#CMEchat 43 - The role of feedback in CME

2012-02-09T14:57:44Z

Thanks to all who joined our 43rd #CMEchat. We had a very practical discussion about how to integrate best practices to leverage feedback in our CME activities - lots of agreement that feedback begets reflection which begets more robust learning and behavior change.

Our discussion was driven by the following topics:

T1 – What is your favorite adult learning principle? In other what is your favorite learning ‘adage’? #CMEchat

T2 – Why is feedback so important in learning? #CMEchat

T3 – What are the best approaches to providing feedback in live educational activities? For groups of 10? 50? 100+? #CMEchat

T4 – What are the best approaches of providing feedback in asynchronous educational activities? Print? Online? Mobile? #CMEchat

T5 – Are there best practices for building small groups, cohorts, or communities of learners? #CMEchat

You can review the transcript below (begin at the bottom) or download it HERE:

From User Tweet

BrianSMcGowan T5 - 70% of communities never grow b/c of systems failures. 20% fail b/c of lack of common vision. only ~10% grow and thrive. #CMEchat

dean_jenkins @theCMEguy yes branches (remedial circuits) in programmed learning or more sophisticated modelling as well. Feedback as adaption. #CMEchat

theCMEguy @BrianSMcGowan Agree. Have seen many communities fail for this reason. They were built simply cuz it seemed like thing to do #cmechat

CMEChat The real impact of the #CMEchat lies in your action - please engage others to participate & take action on things your have learned! Gâ€™day!

CMEChat As we get wrap up, please vote for the tweet of the day (#TOTD) seen during this week's #CMEchat.

CMEChat Thx for participating in #CMEchat. Discussions herein are assumed 2 b personal opinion & not that of current, past, or future employers.

BrianSMcGowan T5 - if you expect this community of learners to adapt to a new environment AND behave differently you are stacking the next...#CMEchat

dean_jenkins @BrianSMcGowan yes connectivism in as much as your open reflections are feedback for others I suppose. #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan #TOTY RT @CMEGrupe: What R the elements that have made #CMEChat successful? Seems like this is the perfect demonstration project for T5.

BrianSMcGowan t5 - if you try to build a community of learners without a simple and rock solid value proposition you will fail... #CMEchat

theCMEguy @dean_jenkins So similar to branched learning then? #cmechat

CMEGrupe What are the elements that have made #CMEChat successful? Seems like this is the perfect demonstration project for T5...

BrianSMcGowan @dean_jenkins - adaptive branching? #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan T5 - i believe that the difference b/w a network and a community is the shared goal or collective intent, engineers must nail this #CMEchat

dean_jenkins @theCMEguy machine learning as the computer makes suggestions for you based on your performance. Could be simple or very complex. #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan T5 - seems like a natural progression from feedback and reflection to social learning and connectivism (@dean_jenkins ??) #CMEchat

theCMEguy â€œ@BrianSMcGowan: t4 - anyone every create a CME cross-word puzzle...#brainstroming #CMEchatâ€ >> Yes! Was a long time ago though...

BrianSMcGowan @theCMEguy - error code 404 #cmechat #notthesmartestguyintheroom

theCMEguy @dean_jenkins OK...you got me with "machine learning". Definition? #cmechat #notthesmartestguyintheroom

CMEChat T5 â€“ Are there best practices for building small groups or communities of learners? (to support feedback & social learning) #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan t4 - anyone every create a CME cross-word puzzle...#brainstroming #CMEchat

dean_jenkins T4 ways of providing feedback to learners in asynchronous online activities include analysis, machine learning, and social linking #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan @BrianSMcGowan - but who doesn't like a challenge...that is at the heart of science...lets collect the data #CMEchat

theCMEguy @BrianSMcGowan See my last tweet... #cmechat

BrianSMcGowan t2-4 is it fair to say that all of the benefits of feedback are really derived from the subsequent reflection? #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan T4 - ideas for print? there is a sophisticated use of grammar & context that can be used to drive reflection in print. #CMEchat

jjuch @briansmcgowan:"spacing and testing is a proven strategy to support learning" challenge is keeping learners participating over time #CMECHAT

theCMEguy T4: Anyone ever offer to send outcomes summary to participants of CME? May be a form of feedback for print activities... #cmechat

BrianSMcGowan agreed. RT @theCMEguy: @rmtyner Not necessarily. Some auto email responses to comments. Have to come back to respond, tho. #cmechat

BrianSMcGowan t4 - engineer questions and answers that evolve over time...spacing and testing is a proven strategy to support learning #CMEchat

theCMEguy @rmtyner Not necessarily. Some auto email responses to comments. Have to come back to respond, tho. #cmechat

BrianSMcGowan @reginamotarjeme - every topic can be polled....so that lectures almost become mind-mapping or treasure map experiences...flexible #cmechat

rmtyner @theCMEguy i love that idea - but the challenge that I come up with is the learners have to keep coming back #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan T4 - the interactivity of the web formats make this a special case...for feedback can be engineered in a myriad of ways #CMEchat

reginamotarjeme have not done live meetings in a long time, gamifying sounds intriguing, please xpand #cmechat

rmtyner @BrianSMcGowan blame it on the DayQuil #CMEchat

theCMEguy T4: I talk about this a lot but...opening comments for online activities. Moderated comments = 2 way feedback #cmechat

BrianSMcGowan @rmtyner - we have not raised topic T$ yet...#CMEchat

CMEChat T4 â€“ What are the best approaches of providing feedback in asynchronous educational activities? Print? Online? Mobile? #CMEchat

theCMEguy â€œ@BrianSMcGowan: T3 - gamifying a room is a great approach to layering constant feedback #CMEchatâ€ >> need to avoid the "cheesy factor"

BrianSMcGowan t3 if you wield 'feedback' like a hammer, you will inevitably find those who would run for the exits. #FeedbackFatigue #CMEchat

jjuch @theCMEguy T3: "...walked out of a prez because heard the words "small group discussion"? Agree. Need to be in right frame of mind #CMECHAT

BrianSMcGowan T3 - gamifying a room is a great approach to layering constant feedback into a room #CMEchat - the energy is a form of feedback.

theCMEguy @BrianSMcGowan Agreed! #cmechat

theCMEguy T3: How many times have you walked out of a prez because heard the words "small group discussion"? #guiltilyraiseshand #cmechat

dean_jenkins T3 feedback to large groups with 'normative' information, consensus views, plenaries, quantitative assessments (quizzes) are good. #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan t3 - can we all agree that ARS can be used in several ways, but many times it serves no purpose and distracts. #CMEchat

jjuch T3: ARS is good but even that is underused by learners in large rooms. Larger # of people, more creative/engaging need to make ARS #CMECHAT

BrianSMcGowan t3 - interacting in small groups is theoretically sound/superior...but the individuals must be committed to the activity...#CMEchat

theCMEguy T3: ARS is one way to gather feedback in large group setting. Trouble is, so many presenters dont know what to do w/ it #cmechat

BrianSMcGowan t3 - not exactly a best practice, but i've seen rooms where no one is interested in 'sharing and feedback' - must know the learners #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan especially w/ peer feedback RT @dean_jenkins: T2 feedback can be very destructive to learning though if delivered in the wrong way. #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan t3 - it is important to think through practical approaches for live learning...careful to push feedback off on the learners/peers. #CMEchat

theCMEguy T3: Had my first experience getting feedback from Twitter while presenting at #acehp12. Fantastic to have instantaneous feedback #cmechat

dean_jenkins T2 feedback can be very destructive to learning though if delivered in the wrong way. #CMEchat

timclynch T2 how often do you elicit qualitative and quantitative feedback? Anyone else encounter barriers to explore beyond the CME eval? #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor Some suggest millenial generation needs explicit feedback on behaviors, & need to point out "I am giving you feedback" now. #CMEchat

CMEChat T3 â€“ What are the best approaches to providing feedback in live educational activities? For groups of 10? 50? 100+? #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan does anyone get hungry when they talk about 'feed'back right before lunch...#CMEchat

MedPedsDoctor Feedback for me: next time, put the #cmechat on the calendar. Gotta run: 11:30 meeting. chat well, my friends! #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan T2- what have we learned about the how feedback effects learning? validation, affirmation, recognition..what else? #CMEchat

YogAlicia3 #cmechat Late, lurking, and lunching. Alicia here.

BrianSMcGowan Good Job Alex! RT @MedPedsDoctor: Feedback on feedback: love topic. Studied (and done it) up, down, left, right, & every other way. #CMEchat

MedPedsDoctor Feedback on feedback: love this topic. Studied (and done it) up, down, left, right, & every other way. #CMEchat

reginamotarjeme agreed! RT @medpedsdoctor: Feedback is formative, NOT summative. It can guide summative, but is not summative #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan imagery! RT @rmtyner: knee deep in Piaget and Knowles...ts #CMEchat

rmtyner t2 feedback is critical from learning from mistakes #CMEchat

timclynch Amen RT @dean_jenkins: T2 feedback IS learning. #cmechat

BrianSMcGowan @MedPedsDoctor - my bad...typed the wrong word...i meant pulse-check ie, formative.. #CMEchat

dean_jenkins T2 feedback IS learning. #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan i think of this rather simply...effective feedback from faculty or peers is at the heart of formative assessment. #CMEchat #pulseCheck

timclynch T2: Feedback is a main component in the E of ADDIE, #cmechat

rmtyner don't get me wrongâ€¦ knee deep in Piaget and Knowles very different approaches to learning in children and adults #CMEchat

MedPedsDoctor Formative vs summative feedback: t.co/MXHrQaT8 #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan t2 - the longer the period without feedback, the more onus on learners to self-assess...and this is never effective. #CMEchat

MedPedsDoctor @BrianSMcGowan I will challenge the statement. Feedback is formative, NOT summative. It can guide summative, but is not summative #CMEchat

reginamotarjeme RT @cmechat: T2 â€“ so your teaching is in line with the learners need #CMEchat

MedPedsDoctor Great recent "giving feedback" article: t.co/UBNQIbOF #CMEchat

dean_jenkins @rmtyner but sometimes being 'paternal' or proscriptive is exactly what's needed. #CMEchat

rmtyner @BrianSMcGowan some distinct differences in pedagogy and andragogy #CMEchat

CMEChat T2 â€“ Why is feedback so important in learning? #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan @rmtyner - but the differences are so hard to pin down and transient...in both cases adults and children #theydontlikethat #CMEchat

dean_jenkins T1 always aim for high learning outcomes. #CMEchat

rmtyner @dean_jenkins IMO with adults there is more to consider when teaching - can't treat adults like children #theydontlikethat #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan so far we have gotten some great 'feedback' and I feel like I am 'learning' a lot ;-) #CMEchat

MedPedsDoctor T1. "Tell 'em what you're gonna tell 'em, then tell 'em, then tell 'em what you told 'em." #isthatalearningprinciple #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan agree. RT @dean_jenkins: T1 there's no such thing as adult learners or 'child's learners. There's always a bit of both. #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan T1- i have seen little to convince me about learning styles...or this nonsense about 10% of what you read, 20% of what you hear #CMEchat

MedPedsDoctor T1. "Focus on the learner(s), not on the teacher." #CMEchat

dean_jenkins T1 there's no such thing as adult learners or 'child's learners. There's always a bit of both. #CMEchat

CMEGrupe Excited to be joining for my 3rd #CMEChat in a row! T1 - I actually used "Begin with the end in mind" in a conversation just this morning.

BrianSMcGowan T1 - i also like the adage: "see one do one teach one" #CMEchat

theCMEguy @BrianSMcGowan some are. Some...not so much. #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan T1 - as for my favorite ALP - probably has to do with cognitive dissonance...and norming w/ peers #CMEchat

rmtyner @BrianSMcGowan how do they know what they don't know?? #CMEchat

dean_jenkins Dean Jenkins here from UK. Always taking my feedback on the chin. Smile and wave. #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan t1 - i have thought about my least favorite adult learning principle ---> 'adults are self directed' {were this only true...} #CMEchat

rmtyner T1 I love "Test and Teach" it primes the learner #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan mr mom! RT @theCMEguy: @MedPedsDoctor I'm also trying to get a 4 y/o a snack. She has a shocking lack of interest in #CMEchat

CMEChat T1 â€“ What is your favorite adult learning principle? In other words...what is your favorite learning â€˜adageâ€™? #CMEchat

reginamotarjeme Regina from Denver, finally made it in time #cmechat

theCMEguy @MedPedsDoctor I'm also trying to get a 4 y/o a snack. She has a shocking lack of interest in #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan hard to believe we have been doing this for 10 months... #CMEchat

rmtyner Cool @MedPedsDoctor we are a crew! RT @BrianSMcGowan: glad to see the Indianapolis crew has arrived to #CMEchat

#CMEchat 42 - Technologies that we use to increase productivity

2012-02-01T21:36:35Z

I have to think that this is the first tweetchat to include someone giving blood while tweeting - but that is what makes a #CMEchatter...we are constantly giving back to the community ;-)

My thanks to Derek Warnick, @theCMEguy, for guest hosting today....we didn't have a @CMEhulk sighting, but we did have a @beth333sp sighting, which was nice. And there are a whole bunch of practical tips being shared.

The topics for the day:

T1: Biggest barrier to SoMe use is time. Share your approach towards SoMe and time management. How do u avoid getting overwhelmed? #cmechat

T2: What are your favorite tools for maximizing SoMe efficiency? For example: tools for Twitter chats or content curation? #cmechat

T3: Give us 1 or 2 “can’t live without” apps for your smartphone or tablet and tell us why. How often do you use it? #cmechat

T4: Share a new desktop/laptop tool u use to improve productivity. Examples: file sharing, remote access, reminders, note taking #cmechat

T5: How do you handle the constant daily deluge of email? Do you take time to categorize in folders or no? Share any tips. #cmechat

dean_jenkins RT @beth333SP: LOL @ChargeAheadMktg: Foursquare...only way to find out where @meducate is each day. ;-) #cmechat

theCMEguy @MedPedsDoctor I admit that Foursquare still baffles me. I don't "get it" and I get a lot... #cmechat

ChrisPerezAHCG Hat tip to @MarilynCME for downloading blood. #cmechat

beth333SP I don't use it so my stalkers can't find me @MedPedsDoctor: I'm curious: do some use Foursquare for safety reasons? #cmechat

timclynch TTOD RT @MarilynCME: Im lurking while donating blood. Hello everyone from Arlington, TX, Texas Health system. #cmechat

ChargeAheadMktg @kenny_cox i saw awesome note and was wondering about it. thx for the tip, will have to check out their UI. #cmechat

dean_jenkins T3 I use Twitter for Android. On it now. :-) LinkedIn and Facebook too slow on my phone. #CMEchat

timclynch @theCMEguy I don't have the answer, but it would be very interesting to do a study on where engagement is for learning? #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor I'm curious: do some use Foursquare for safety reasons (in case they don't show up to something, know "last location")? #cmechat

MarilynCME I'm lurking while donating blood. Hello everyone from Arlington, TX, Texas Health system. #cmechat

theCMEguy T3: I love Zite for my tablet. It's a great way for me to discover new content, new blogs, etc #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor T3. Zite. Happtique Pro (medical app curation). Webicina (same). MedCalcPro. Skyscape. RedBook (pediatric-specific). Evernote #cmechat

beth333SP LOL @ChargeAheadMktg: Foursquare...only way to find out where @meducate is each day. ;-) #cmechat

timclynch @theCMEguy Repetition leads to better retention? #cmechat

ChrisPerezAHCG @MedPedsDoctor Lists are making my foray into Twitter sustainable! I need order. #cmechat

ChargeAheadMktg T3: Hootsuite app...only way to stay plugged in. and Foursquare...only way to find out where @meducate is each day. ;-) #cmechat

theCMEguy @timclynch I don't know that we can, can we? #cmechat

dean_jenkins Nope. Well only a little. RT "@theCMEguy: @dean_jenkins No concerns about over-repetition? #cmechat

timclynch T2, so while we have all seen how much time MD are on SoMe, how can we say one network is better for education and learning? #cmechat

theCMEguy T3: Give us 1 or 2 â€œcanâ€™t live withoutâ€ apps for your smartphone or tablet and tell us why. How often do you use it? #cmechat

theCMEguy T3 coming up. Moving on to mobile... #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor CME folks: more and more docs are joining @Doximity. Should ask in UR next needs assessments. #cmechat

theCMEguy @dean_jenkins No concerns about over-repetition? #cmechat

dean_jenkins T2 I cross social media a lot - linkedin Facebook, Twitter. Adds to the serendipity. #CMEchat

beth333SP Welcome! @aperch: Made my first #cmechat! Anne Perch, Director of CME, The Methodist Hospital System, Houston, TX.

theCMEguy @beth333SP That's why we're doing this :-) #cmechat

timclynch @ChargeAheadMktg Evernote and Instapaper are great for saving your SoMe travels. Have you used #Zamantia for expandg your content? #cmechat

ChargeAheadMktg @timclynch opportunistic crossing for good content on TW/LI, but mostly separate. altho monitor all thru Hootsuite. #cmechat

theCMEguy @timclynch I keep them separate #cmechat

beth333SP T2 #CMEChat - now I am learning that I am a SoMe laggard by just using "old school" tweetdeck only...

ChargeAheadMktg agreed, i used Hootsuite too RT @drerikbrady stopped using Tweetdeck owing to the superior reporting capabilities of Hootsuite T2 - #CMEchat

theCMEguy @drerikbrady Interesting...The auto-refresh is what puts TD over the top for me. #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor I've tweeted this before. If you use @Evernote, and add @myEN to it, all your tweets go into your Evernote acct #cmechat

timclynch T2: Quick poll, do you cross your social media streams (Twitter, LinkedIn, FB, G+) or do you keep them separate? #cmechat

beth333SP T2 - TweetDeck is my fa, and then pick up hashtags to follow (like #MDChat) and I just stick to twitte, follow LinkedIn and FB sep #CMEChat

ChargeAheadMktg ah, just discovered Evernote myself...awesome -->> RT @chrisperezahcg: @theCMEguy re T2, big fan of Evernote for curating content. #cmechat

drerikbrady We stopped using Tweetdeck owing to the superior reporting capabilities of Hootsuite T2 - #CMEchat

theCMEguy â€œ@ChrisPerezAHCG: @theCMEguy re T2, I'm a big fan of Evernote for curating content. #cmechatâ€ > Good one. Hold that for T4...

MedPedsDoctor T1 For those still trying to figure out Twitter: t.co/xetv6BuF #cmechat

ChrisPerezAHCG @theCMEguy re T2, I'm a big fan of Evernote for curating content. #cmechat

theCMEguy @aperch Welcome! We're talking about fav tools for SoMe use #cmechat

ChargeAheadMktg late joiner to #cmechat

dean_jenkins Me too. RT "@laurenero: I like tweetchat for twitter chats #CMEchat"

theCMEguy T2: I only use TweetDeck for Twitter. Some like to bring in LinkedIn, FBook, etc, but I prefer not to... #cmechat

timclynch Does anyone use #socialbro to organize subjects? #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor @JediPD Akin to "tell 'em what you're gonna tell 'em, then tell 'em, then tell 'em what you told 'em!" #cmechat

aperch Made my first #cmechat! Anne Perch, Director of CME, The Methodist Hospital System, Houston, TX.

timclynch @MedPedsDoctor but with a Bacon list you know that many stop eating bacon the week of their bloodwork so the results are skewed #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor T1. I think the key is to understand the learners. Amazing how much time med students are on SoMe. Docs in practice: less #cmechat

kenny_cox Oops - sorry Got distracted answering an email! #cmechat Tweetdeck is good but can be overwhelming

JediPD Interesting: Speaking about the Time you are wasting ~ about the time you are wasting ~ about the time you have wasted. #CMEChat (lurking)

theCMEguy T2: TweetDeck is my main tool. Makes tweeting, tweetchats, etc much easier. Don't like the re-design tho... #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor @timclynch I already know. #ordercholesterollevels #cmechat

laurenero I like tweetchat for twitter chats #CMEchat

theCMEguy @timclynch ooo...interesting! Have not tried that. Doesn't it get annoying? #cmechat

beth333SP I mute: Tough to do - the little beeping noise gets me everytime @theCMEguy: @kenny_cox I usually do have it running in background, #cmechat

timclynch @MedPedsDoctor unless you are doing a lipid program and want to know just how much bacon people are consuming. #cmechat

theCMEguy T2: What are your favorite tools for maximizing SoMe efficiency? For example: tools for Twitter chats or content curation? #cmechat

audrie95 Audrie from Paradigm, on the sofa hoping I don't have strep. T1 - some days I just don't log in to twitter at all. #CMEChat

theCMEguy â€œ@MedPedsDoctor: Derek, do you have an exercise boat as well? #cmechatâ€ >> I have a rowing machine :-)

drerikbrady T1 - If content is really that important, it will get retweeted. #CMEchat

timclynch T1: I have found that I like listening to TweetSpeaker on the iPhone while I drive, it reads all the tweets that I missed. #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor Derek, do you have an exercise boat as well? #cmechat

theCMEguy @MedPedsDoctor That is something I have not made good use of. Anyone a big list maker on Twitter? #CMEchat

theCMEguy @beth333SP Yes, I also do a lot when on exercise bike. Have to get over not seeing EVERYTHING. #cmechat

kenny_cox Tough to do - the little beeping noise gets me everytime @theCMEguy: @kenny_cox I usually do have it running in background, #cmechat

dean_jenkins T1 Twitter good for dipping in and out. #CMEchat ... but can be a time waster.

MedPedsDoctor T1. Someone taught me to use lists. Make a CME list. That way, don't need to read about someone's love of bacon. Read about CME #cmechat

rmtyner T1 I just downloaded Socialite for Mac - not sure if I like it yet #CMEChat

theCMEguy @kenny_cox I usually do have it running in background, but I make goals. "I won't read tweets until 1 hr from now." #cmechat

CMEGrupe T1 - Accept up front that you're not going to keep up with all info in real-time, and then get to what you can, when you can. #CMEChat

beth333SP T1 I read tweets on the treadmill, so I usually see what's going on at 6:00 AM. Therefore, I miss a lot. And I'm OK with that. #CMEChat

rmtyner Michelle from Indiana - Super Bowl Mania #CMEChat

drerikbrady @theCMEguy Yep, and I don't get offended with the Owl falls asleep... #CMEchat

theCMEguy â€œ@drerikbrady: T1 - I've given up trying to read every tweet. #CMEchatâ€ > This is a key point. U can't read everything. Pick & choose...

MedPedsDoctor T1. Key is to organize in a different format. My need to read journals has changed. Already read highlights as tweets 2 days ago #cmechat

kenny_cox This so crucial - don't have it running in the background @theCMEguy: T1: I try to have a designated time for my SoMe stuff. #cmechat

dean_jenkins Hello, Dean Jenkins, lurking in London. #CMEchat

laurenero Lauren here from Maryland and the american urological association #CMEchat

theCMEguy T1: I try to have a designated time for my SoMe stuff. I go in, I read quickly, I'm out... #cmechat

drerikbrady T1 - I've given up trying to read every tweet. I use hootsuite to bring all of the content together than i'm interested in #CMEchat

theCMEguy As with each #CMEchat we will guide the convo with 3 or 4 topics, but the real learning and teaching lies in your tweets - please engage.

theCMEguy Rule 7. A few mins before the end of #CMEchat, reintroduce yourself. Links, requests & shameless plugs welcome, too - #makingfriends

theCMEguy Rule 6. On #CMEchat we aim to play nice. Sarcasm & irony welcome though. Really. Seriously. #laughingislearning

theCMEguy Rule 5. Periodically RT questions so those outside #CMEchat know what youâ€™re talking about & so they can chime in too

theCMEguy Rule 4. Please remember to use the #CMEchat hashtag so all of the #CMEchat participants can follow the #CMEchat discussion!!!!

theCMEguy Rule 3. When writing, complete thoughts help followers outside chat learn from you. #CMEchat

theCMEguy Rule 2. [try to] stay on the #CMEchat topic. A new question will be asked every 12 min or so. If you can, include T# in related responses.

theCMEguy Rules for #CMEchat: 1. Introduce yourself. Location? Focus? Fave topics? What brings you here today?
