The Mayo Proceedings had an article on pearls on thromboembolism. It also discussed using cases to present a review. The article has a nice style and makes some excellent points http://mayoclinicproceedings.com/content/84/12/1120.full Those wishing to plan presentations nationally might look at the format
"At the 2001 annual conference of the American College of Physicians, a new teaching format to aid physician learning, Clinical Pearls, was introduced. Clinical Pearls is designed with the 3 qualities of physician-learners in mind. First, we physicians enjoy learning from cases. Second, we like concise, practical points that we can use in our practice. Finally, we take pleasure in problem solving.
In the Clinical Pearls format, speakers present a number of short cases in their specialty to a general internal medicine audience. Each case is followed by a multiple-choice question answered live by attendees using an audience response system. The answer distribution is shown to attendees. The correct answer is then displayed and the speaker discusses teaching points, clarifying why one answer is most appropriate. Each case presentation ends with a Clinical Pearl, defined as a practical teaching point that is supported by the literature but generally not well known to most internists."
Clinical Pearls is currently one of the most popular sessions at the American College of Physicians meeting
