During an isolating time, the WWYD format leveraged affordances of a virtual platform to bring diverse content experts together for disease-specific discussions, aligning with problem-based, active learning pedagogical approaches which have proven more effective than lectures. Attendees found the format more engaging than virtual didactic lectures, but department-wide survey revealed a dichotomy of didactic priorities between faculty and trainees, with faculty more strongly favoring attendance convenience. WWYD is well-positioned to deliver a didactic educational experience with both engagement and convenience.
