Walk the Talk

I can read. So can you. Why, then, do speakers at conferences for CME professionals and meeting planners continue to read out loud from their slide presentations when we have the handouts in front of us? I've heard so much lately about the kind of education physicians want — self-directed learning, problems-based learning, just-in-time learning, small-group sessions — that I began to wonder why those formats aren't modeled at conferences for education providers.
