PROBLEM-BASED LUNCHEONDISCUSSIONS (PBLD)

WHAT IS A PBLD?

PBLD-Problem Based Luncheon Discussions- are 45minutes long sessions presented during the lunch break(12:30 - 13:30).

PBLDʼs are presented by faculty with specific interest and

clinical experience in the topics they are presenting.

The PBLDʼs follow an open discussion format in which

the faculty after an introduction to the attendees will deliver

a presentation on the topic and raise several questions for

discussion and input by the attendees.

presentations (although the faculty may elect to use

own laptop, prints or other material). The attendees are

encouraged to ask questions throughout the presentation

get to know experts in the field, learn valuable practice tips

through the discussions as well as create lasting friendships

and academic connections.

Barberini, Stazione Termini, etc. During the rush hour (4 pm-8pm), as in all cities, it can be difficult to find a taxi. Taxis canbe radio paged but remember that you'll pay for the time ittakes to get to you not just from the time you enter the cab.There is a fixed (flat rate) fee for taxis going between the city(defined as inside the Aurelian Walls) and the two airports,Fiumicino and Ciampino. The fixed fee to & from Fiumicino is€ 40,00 and to & from Ciampino is € 30,00.

The main radio-taxi network telephone numbers are: 06 3570; 06 88177; 06 4994; 06 6645; and 06 4157.

Licensed taxis are all white and have a taxi sign on the roofof the car as well as their license number inside the car. Inevery official taxi there is a card that explains - in English -the extra charges for luggage, late-night travel, Sunday andholiday travel, and airport journeys. Always make sure themeter is switched on. Be careful of unlicensed and illegal taxidrivers who approach you at the train station or the airport.They will often ask for additional fees at the end of the trip.
