SUMMARY:Problem Solving Workshop
DESCRIPTION:May 31\, 2023\n10:00AM-1:15PM\nThe presentation will equip attendees with a simple problem-solving methodology developed by Dr. Barry Smith thirty-five years ago. This methodology has been successfully implemented in thirty-three countries worldwide\, including the United States. It offers a streamlined version of the scientific method\, proving its effectiveness even in resource-constrained environments\, addressing individuals’ problems and fundamental challenges faced by physical and mental health systems. \nREGISTER NOW\nThe workshop will cover the following key steps: \n\nListing and prioritizing the problems individuals are encountering.\nDefining the highest priority problem (or a crucial aspect of it) by analyzing its nature\, cause\, and contributing factors.\nDeveloping a solution by posing a well-crafted question using the general framework: “What action\, involving whom\, for how long\, will yield the desired outcome?”\nFormulating a concise and actionable Plan of Action spanning one to two pages.\nTaking decisive action to implement the plan.\nConducting an evaluation to gauge the degree of success and identify areas for improvement\, ensuring a continuous process of growth and progress.\n\nThrough this workshop\, participants will gain valuable insights into an accessible problem-solving approach\, enabling them to address challenges more effectively and achieve desired outcomes. \nPresented by: DR. Barry Smith\, MD\, PhD \nDr. Smith received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard University\, his PhD in Molecular Biology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and his MD from Cornell University Medical College with residency training at New York Hospital\, Massachusetts General Hospital\, and Memorial-Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
