The Canadian Anesthesiologists’ Society (CAS) has announced that the Pinnacle Rounds Program will continue in 2025. A call for submissions is open for the endorsement and presentation of outstanding teaching rounds from each university's anesthesia department.
We kindly request your hospital site’s participation in this prestigious opportunity to showcase exceptional clinical practice knowledge and guidelines based on evidence and best practices.
The deadline for submissions is September 20, 2024.
Objective:
The objective of this initiative is to highlight outstanding teaching rounds that demonstrate the highest standards of clinical education in the field of anesthesiology. These rounds should focus on enhancing the professional development and knowledge of anesthesiologists and trainees by providing practical insights, evidence-based practices, and guidelines applicable to the field.
Submission Guidelines:
- Eligibility: Each university anesthesia department is invited to submit one teaching round for consideration.
- Content: The submitted teaching round should not be a review of someone's personal research, but rather emphasize clinical practice knowledge, review of important relevant topics, evidence-based guidelines, and best practices.
- Format: The teaching round should be submitted in a written format, preferably as a PowerPoint presentation and a 1-2 page summary of the objectives and content of the round.
- Length: The teaching round should be no longer than 45 minutes in duration with 15 minutes for questions.
- References: The inclusion of proper references and citations to support the evidence-based content is highly encouraged.
Selection and Endorsement:
- Internal Review Process: The Vice Chair of Education and Education Council will review all submissions and select the rounds based on the criteria established by the CAS. The team responsible for the rounds selected by the department will be notified directly
- External Review Process: The CAS Continuing Education and Professional Development Committee will carefully consider all submissions based on topic and content to ensure that they meet the identified educational needs of our members, and candidates will be notified by November 2024.
- Recognition: In addition to the opportunity to present their research on a national stage, the selected presenters will receive a letter of recognition by the CAS, acknowledging their exemplary contribution to anesthesia education.
