Christine and others,

That is "Woohoo!" news (or as we say in Oklahoma:  "Hot Digitee"! ;-)).

Another idea on future TBL conferences:  Maybe we should consider holding one in Japan!!

Hello All,

I just returned from the 40th annual Japan Society of Medical
Educators.  The good news is that there was a forum on TBL and I found
out that a Japanese Edition of "Team-Based Learning for Health
Professions Education" is almost finished being translated into
Japanese.  Woohooo!

Dr. Levine's visit to Japan in the spring had a huge impact on the
people who took her workshop!

I think you can look forward to an influx of Japanese educators at
future TBL conferences! :-)

Cheers,
Christine
