Building cases mirrors naturalistic learning When health professionals talk about cases several things happen: A composite case is formed during the discussion These composites reflect practice contexts A diversity of approaches to assessment and intervention emerge Recognizing this diversity, a learning moment is created Build-A-Case captures this most natural and contextual process of learning and is a distinct application of problem based learning

A sample of participant comments Very informative and enlightening. This session needs to be presented across the health care system. It was helpful to have an opportunity to voice concerns, ideas and to brainstorm solutions in long term care. It can sometimes feel like no one is listening outside of our facility. Thank you – A very informative session and a positive environment to share information. Good Job! Interesting session! I liked the diversity of the group members. Great to hear what other agencies do and learn about their role. This is a very informative networking session. Extremely well done! Very interesting method of learning Love the format of build-a-case David Ryan was fantastic. I learned so much from his comments
