Didactic (D)	A power point presentation or lecture that may include brief question and answer session.
Problem based learning (P)	Focused, experiential learning that is organized around the investigation of clinical problems. Learner groups are presented with a case and set their own learning objectives, often dividing the work, teaching each other, guided.
Simulation based learning (S)	Simulations, can be low-tech or high tech, duplicate clinical scenarios and allow learners to engage in activities that approximate realistic situations.
Team based learning (T)	Teacher-directed method for incorporating small-group active participation in large-group educational setting. Learners must actively participate in and out of class (preparation and discussion). Shift away from facts to application.
