Academic Half-Day Didactics
This half-day is protected time for our residents to focus on a variety of educational content. Our academic conferences begin with a resident case presentation followed by group discussion and a mix of core content didactics, simulation, and board review. Faculty from our internal medicine department, internal medicine subspecialties, some non-internal medicine specialties, and relevant nonclinical disciplines facilitate our academic conferences. This is typically scheduled once or twice monthly.
