I am pleased to provide an update regarding the activities and future directions of the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology (CAG) Education Committee. The mandate of the CAG Education Committee is to facilitate, develop and promote excellence as it pertains to educational initiatives for the Canadian gastroenterology community. Professional education has long remained a priority of the CAG - a fact well recognized by the membership. The 2002 CAG Strategic Planning Survey showed that members rate Canadian Digestive Diseases Week (CDDW) as the most important CAG service, on par with Digestive Diseases Week regarding its usefulness (1). CDDW 2004 offered delegates a variety of basic science and clinical symposia, the popular and well received 'Breakfast with the Expert' sessions and a comprehensive Postgraduate Course reviewing key developments in gastroenterology, nutrition and hepatology.

In thisJournal, we have recently highlighted the progress of the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology (CAG) in meeting the goals and objectives outlined in the first Strategic Plan developed in 1993 (1). In September 2002, a Strategic Planning survey was mailed to all members of the CAG (a copy of the cover letter and survey are present for viewing on the CAG Web site www.cag-acg.org/whatsnew/strat_plann_surv.htm. The results of the responses to this survey were collated and presented to the Past Presidents of the CAG at a retreat held during the summer of 2003. These findings were then employed to develop a Strategic Plan for the CAG to guide its progress and development over the next five to ten years. A subsequent issue of this Journal will include a presentation of the CAG 2004 Strategic Plan, which was finalized and approved by the CAG Governing Board during the annual fall meeting in October 2003.

Honorarium: fee, especially for professional services normally rendered without payment (Oxford English Dictionary)One of the main activities of the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology (CAG) is the organizing of professional education events, and the largest of these events is Canadian Digestive Diseases Week (CDDW). The CDDW is organized by members of the CAG for members of the CAG. The funds needed to run this meeting are generated from a number of sources - membership dues, sponsorship from pharmaceutical companies, sale of exhibit space, etc. These funds are used to pay for the convention facilities, for the audiovisual services, for the coffee breaks and lunches, and for the cost of bringing to our meetings the many experts who are on the program.

Marketing is an essential aspect of the strategy of increasing product sales. Manis Bakery UMKM itself does not have a specific plan for promoting mani bread. This study aims to design the marketing strategy of UMKM Manis Bakery based on the concept of Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM), Competitive Profile Matrix (CPM), and Strategic Position and Action Evaluation (SPACE). This research conducted at Manis Bakery UMKM with respondents chosen were business owners and respondents who bought bread at least once a week or more. Based on the results of the analysis that has done, the results obtained that the strength possessed by the Sweet Bakery UMKM are products without preservatives, bread has a soft texture, food that is not easy to expire, strategic company location and affordable prices. The strategy is a priority based on six alternative strategies, namely creating sweet bread with flavors or innovations and making unique and attractive packaging that will do when having additional business capital.

In small-group problem-based learning (PBL), students work cooperatively to solve complex, real-world problems. The problems lead the students to learn basic concepts rather than being presented as applications of concepts they have already learned. The goals are for students to learn and be able to apply the disciplinary content, develop critical thinking abilities, and acquire skills of life-long learning, communication, and team building. PBL has been widely used in recent years in medical and related areas of professional education. In those settings each small group typically has its own faculty facilitator. PBL can be successfully adapted for teaching undergraduate and graduate basic science students, in part by having multiple groups meet in one room with a roving facilitator. This report describes a two-semester PBL sequence in organ-systems physiology. To keep the interest of a diverse group of seniors and graduate students, several types of problems were used: clinical, laboratory research-based, real-life scenarios, and published research articles. The majority of students have responded enthusiastically.

Academic neurosurgery encompasses basic science and clinical research efforts to better understand and treat diseases of relevance to neurosurgical practice, with the overall aim of improving treatment and outcome for patients. In this article, we provide an overview of the current and future directions of British academic neurosurgery. Training pathways are considered together with personal accounts of experiences of structured integrated clinical academic training and unstructured academic training. Life as an academic consultant is also described. Funding is explored, for the specialty as a whole and at the individual level. UK academic neurosurgical organisations are highlighted. Finally, the UK’s international standing is considered.
