Description: An RP&L workshop on a given topic is offered as one of the workshop options in a larger CME event (e.g., Annual Review Course in Pediatrics). There is a brief didactic presentation on the learning objective (e.g., challenges of delivering care across cultures). The faculty have hypothetical challenging cases ready to discuss. The audience is also given the opportunity to discuss hypothetical or challenging cases from their own practice, although in each workshop participants have opted to discuss their challenging cases. Evaluations have been very positive.
