Teaching Activities
Inpatient Service
- Teaching Rounds
Those involved in the Family Medicine Residency Program learn a great deal at the patient bedside, during informal discussions with other residents, attending physicians and consultants, and through self-study. Morning report on the Family Medicine Inpatient Service encourages residents and students to develop their clinical acumen by critically evaluating cases and learning key “teaching points” from patients cared for by the service.
- Lectures
In addition to rounds, residents attend numerous didactic conferences. The Family Medicine Inpatient Service features a core curriculum of lectures given by specialists and family practice attendings. Lecture topics focus on important knowledge and skills necessary for on-call residents, such as management of:
- chest pain
- hypoxia
- acute GI bleeds
- sepsis
- fluids and electrolytes
- and more
Conferences
Residents are excused from clinical duties to attend weekly Wednesday morning conferences at the Family Medicine Center. The curriculum includes:
- quiz-based learning sessions
- evidence-based medicine
- journal club
- resident grand rounds
- monthly morbidity and mortality conferences
- family practice faculty lectures
- specialty lectures from local and national experts
