CONFERENCES

Residents, fellows and faculty are expected to attend all conferences. In case of emergencies, the resident should discuss the situation with the Chief or Senior Resident and obtain permission to leave the conference. The conference schedule allows a didactic and interactive forum to augment the resident's reading program and clinical experiences. Residents and fellows must be on time for conferences, and each resident and fellow will give a minimum of 2 presentations each year.

Grand Rounds Conferences are held on Wednesday of every week from 7:30 am to 10:30 am. Residents and fellows are expected to round on the respective services before conferences begin. Journal Club is held on Wednesday evening from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm once each month.

Resident Readings

The Resident Reading Conference is held on the first Wednesday of every month. The Chief Resident assigns the reading schedule for each resident based on requests and special interests.

Resident review/board preparation format- 1 hour total, 4-15 minute blocks

1st- breakfast

2nd-material presentation-patient symptoms, macroscopic anatomic/physiologic findings, nanoscopic anatomic/physiologic (genetics) abnormalities, diagnostic testing, treatment(s), outcomes

3rd-questions & didactic discussion

Motor Skills Lab

The motor skills lab is a cadaver based experience in which operative approaches are practiced in a hands on lab. Each session has a short didactic period, and with accompanying handouts, the resident is proctored by senior faculty during the procedures. The lab combines the opportunity to practice operative approaches and obtain familiarity with the equipment.
