- Board Review: This conference will take place from 1 - 3 p.m. on Tuesdays.
- Core Curriculum Conference: This conference occurs every Monday. Documented attendance for a minimum of 18 conferences per year is required.
- Journal Club/Evidence Based Medicine Conference: This conference takes place the first and third Wednesday of the month. Documented attendance is required for a minimum of 12 journal clubs per year.
- Medical Grand Rounds: Attendance at Departmental Grand Rounds is required. Exceptions will be made for residents on night float and those carrying the Code Blue Pager.
- Subspecialty Conferences: Residents are invited to attend additional conferences sponsored by the subspecialty divisions within the department. It is not required, but if residents attend they will receive credit toward the ACGME requirement.
