Didactics
We are dedicated to our residents’ education, learning and individual progress as they progress towards becoming successful practicing emergency physicians. Our didactics follow the core curriculum from the Model of Emergency Medicine.
We have conference with didactic lectures, demonstrations, journal clubs, and labs on Thursdays from 7:00AM to 12:00PM in one-hour time slots. During this time we incorporate quality assurance conference, ultrasound curriculum, airway in-services, EKG courses, follow-up and case conferences, review sessions, oral board preparation experience, and many other educational offerings.
Residents are relieved of all clinical duties in order to attend conference on Wednesday mornings except on some ICU rotations in which direct patient care takes precedence. All residents are expected to maintain a minimum of >70% conference attendance throughout the year.
