Continuing Education and Conferences:
Many aspects of obstetrics and gynecology require additional didactic
work before they can be integrated into the resident's fund of working
knowledge.
Resident Didactic Lecture Series
This weekly didactic conference is coordinated by the Program
Director. The curriculum is based on the Educational Objectives published
by CREOG (Council on Resident Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology).
Grand Rounds
Grand Rounds Lectures are held quarterly. The Associate Residency Director
coordinates the programs and invites speakers that are known experts in
the field of obstetrics and gynecology and in other fields of medicine,
local speakers as well as our own knowledgeable faculty.
Clinical Case Conference and Mortality and Morbidity Conference
This weekly conference is organized by the Program Director. On the third
Thursday, residents present two interesting cases for discussion. On the
first and third Thursday, the chief resident on service discusses selected
cases from weekly statistics. Members of other departments such as Pathology,
Neonatology, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine and Radiology participate
as well. Patient care issues, legal and malpractice trends, psychosexual
counseling, evidence-based medicine and departmental quality assurance
issues are discussed at this conference. Faculty and residents are required
to attend.
