Workshop Description: Medical students, residents, and physicians at all levels will have the opportunity to test and expand their knowledge of evidence-based cardiac surgery guidelines in a fun, interactive team-based Jeopardy format. This session will include topics spanning across multiple cardiac surgery categories (mitral, aortic, dissections, heart failure, coronary revascularization, and miscellaneous). Designed to reinforce core concepts and the latest updates, this session is particularly valuable for those preparing for their Royal College exams.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this session participants will be able to:

identify and apply evidence-based cardiac surgery guidelines to clinical decision-making;
review key landmark randomized controlled trials and recent updates that influence cardiac surgical practice; and
enhance knowledge retention in a fun, team-based Jeopardy format that encourages collaboration and active learning.
