Audience Response Systems. (8:30 a.m. to 10:15 a.m.): An audience response system (ARS) allows presenters to poll their audience on content questions or controversial topics. The questions can serve to reinforce key concepts and give structure to a presentation. This session will demonstrate basic ARS functions with an emphasis on determining appropriate use of ARS tools and more advanced features.

Digital Professionalism. (10:15 a.m. to noon): Would you friend a patient on Facebook? What if you discovered your “non-smoking” patient smoking in online photos? The boundaries between professional and personal life have become blurred in the age of the Internet and social networking. This session will illustrate social networking guidelines developed by UW medical students with real situations.

Participants will learn:

• How to identify whether audience response is appropriate for their teaching.
• How to make use of basic and advanced ARS features.
• How social media is used in the classroom, clinic, and beyond.
• About cases where social media enabled unprofessional behavior.
