Didactic Education

Meet every other week with your classmates to review and solidify your learning! Our interns are able to request specific topics throughout the year to make sure that the sessions are relevant and timely.

Our residents work through mock code situations monthly in our BATCAVE simulation center.

Led by faculty from the Office of Professional Well-Being, our residents work in small groups to learn healthy ways of processing and supporting each other through the successes and challenges of residency.

EBM for Equity (Evidence-Based Medicine for Equity) is a curriculum designed to not only have intentional conversation about disparities that exist in health outcomes, but also provide residents with the tools by which they can start to mitigate those disparities.

Expect help preparing for your board-certification exam throughout the residency:

• You’ll receive board-prep materials to help organize your study process. You’ll also complete online modules and board-prep questions annually.
• PGY2s and PGY3s participate in a dedicated longitudinal board-prep curriculum based on a flipped-classroom model.
• Residents will work with program faculty to develop a personalized board-prep strategy.
• Residents will also have access to a GME learning specialist to address any specific testing needs.

Each month, residents and faculty discuss interesting or unusual cases in a multidisciplinary conference that includes pediatrics, surgery, intensive care, pathology, and radiology.

Each Tuesday and Wednesday morning, this informal conference uses cases to build skills in differential diagnosis and management of common and rare pediatric issues. The atmosphere is fun and collegial, and involves students, housestaff, and faculty.

Local and national experts share updates on a full range of topics, from molecular biology to community advocacy to medical education, in this weekly, department-wide conferfence.
