Didactic Curriculum

Supplemental to clinical curriculum the program offers a formal didactic series:

  • Our formal didactic series occurs on Wednesday afternoons with five hours of protected lecture time. Pediatric attendings and all off-service rotation attendings are aware that our residents will be at didactics during this time every week. Didactics usually consists of core lectures and presentations from residents, faculty, staff and guest lecturers. A mix of case presentations, lectures and lively, interactive discussions keep these sessions engaging and fresh.
  • Board Review Workshop occurs the first and third Wednesdays of each month. The group will work through PREP question sets together. This is a resident-only session led by an attending to delve further into test taking strategies and key clues provided in each question to help prepare for the board exam. 
  • Journal Club is held by each PGY-1 twice during the academic year. Journal articles will be discussed under close supervision of faculty members. Residents will learn to critique medical literature and learn from recent advances in medicine.
  • Clinical Practice Guidelines will have a discussion led by each PGY-2 twice during the academic year. This is to help residents stay current on guidelines and learn where to find resources. 
  • Morning Report occurs twice monthly, and every resident will lead two sessions per academic year.
  • Morbidity and Mortality conferences occur the second Wednesday of each month except for July and December. Residents will participate in the presentation of two M&M cases over the course of their training.
  • Attending- and resident-led Board Review sessions occur twice monthly. 
  • Grand Rounds occurs the first Tuesday of every month.
  • Simulation training is provided at a minimum of once monthly to enhance the residents’ skills on specific procedures. There are dedicated faculty members to carry out these trainings and will give you an opportunity to learn in a risk-free environment to demonstrate a level of competency prior to entering the clinical setting.
  • Open Pediatric Simulation Lab occurs the first Tuesday of each month guided by faculty to facilitate a more intimate learning experience for those on non-inpatient rotations. 
  • When a month has five Wednesdays, the fifth one is designated as a Resident Wellness Day.
