Upcoming Webinar: Using Case-Based Learning and Problem-Based Learning to Teach Professionalism and Ethics in Ophthalmology Residency Training
Professionalism and ethics are central to ophthalmology practice but can be difficult to teach through lectures alone. This webinar introduces how Case-Based Learning (CBL) and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) can strengthen ethical reasoning, reflective practice, and professional behaviors in residents. Participants will explore practical strategies, sample ophthalmic ethical scenarios, and simple tools to assess and reinforce professional conduct in everyday training.
In this webinar, you will:
- Explain why CBL and PBL are effective approaches for teaching professionalism and ethics.
- Recognize key professionalism and ethical themes in ophthalmology practice.
- Develop simple CBL/PBL scenarios to promote ethical reasoning and resident reflection using innovative tools.
- Discuss effective facilitation and assessment strategies to reinforce professional behaviors and ethical practice in training.

Past Webinar: Trust, but Verify: Artificial Intelligence, Evidence Search, and Critical Thinking for Clinicians
AI tools like ChatGPT are already in our clinics—listing diagnoses, suggesting tests, and even proposing treatments. They’re fast. They’re not careful. That’s our job.
Our rule for using AI is simple: trust, but verify. Use it as a quick, creative second opinion—then confirm its ideas with reliable evidence and your patient’s needs in mind.
In this webinar, you will:
- Compare leading AI assistants on what matters most—accuracy, transparency, and data protection.
- Test AI-powered search tools against PubMed to see where each approach shines and how to combine them.
- Apply a quick critical thinking checklist to keep clinical reasoning in charge.
You don’t need to be an AI expert—just ready to use the technology wisely, verify efficiently, and keep your clinical judgment at the center.
