Didactic Curriculum

Grand Rounds: Resident conferences will be scheduled weekly on Wednesdays from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Topics will include a broad range of structured didactic activities and residents will have protected time to attend.  These topics will be delivered by faculty members, including emergency medicine and specialists, presenting the most current evidence available to advance the practice of medicine.

Morning Report:  Daily case based didactic will take place in the department from 7:00 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. except on Wednesdays.  Topics will cover a wide range of emergency conditions encountered in our department.  This will prepare our residents for oral boards.

Morbidity and Mortality:  Morbidity and mortality didactic sessions will be incorporated monthly into our grand rounds schedule. Number and diagnoses of admissions, mortalities, lessons learned during the month, policy changes and any morbidity will be reviewed. This is an opportunity for a critical appraisal of services offered, implementations that could improve quality of care provided and mitigation any patient safety concerns.

Journal Club: Journal Club will be held quarterly, separate from Wednesday Didactics. Articles will be pre-approved by the program director. Residents will gain knowledge at locating, appraising and assimilating evidence from scientific studies related to their patients’ health problems. Journal Club highlights opportunities for using information technology to optimize learning.
Conference Attendance: Residents will be expected to attend all Wednesday conferences/didactic sessions, other than pre-approved time off such as vacation and/or excused rotations.

Research and Scholarly Activity

Residents are expected to complete one research project and one Global Health/Health Equity project before graduation. Residents will be offered opportunities to participate in scholarly activities and have opportunities to participate in quality improvement projects. Residents will be educated in research study design and basic statistics as part of our evidence-based medicine curriculum.
