Our conferences all take place in an interactive, attractive, stimulating environment:
Morning Report* (daily): houseofficers and students meet with the Chief Resident, the Program Director, Associate Program Director, and several generalists and specialists, for presentation of recent admissions, follow-up reports, and planned and unplanned discussions of selected clinical problems.
Teaching Attending Rounds* (90 minutes, three times per week). The case(s) to be discussed is determined by the resident. The teaching attending is either a member of the full-time staff or a selected member of the private attending staff, assignment based on houseofficer evaluations. Service as a teaching attending is considered an honor and is assigned only to attending physicians deemed to be effective in teaching the logic of clinical management. In the ICU and CCU, there are daily teaching rounds with the critical care and cardiology faculty, as well as daily radiology rounds.
Noon Conference* (daily) includes subspecialty lectures devoted to the core curriculum, including the basic science of each subspecialty and other topics including women’s health, managed care, life after residency, ethics and end of life.
Grand Rounds*, Morbidity and Mortality*, Journal Club*, Journal Review, New England Journal of Medicine Club, and a Board Review Series are all scheduled regularly.
Tumor Board (weekly), jointly run by Surgery and Oncology, deals with complex oncological pathology and management.
Special conferences on osteopathic principles and practices are scheduled throughout the year for our interns in the osteopathic track. These include regional meetings coordinated through the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine as well as regular resident run OMT tutorials.
Optional regularly scheduled conferences include Radiology-Pathology, Surgery and Neurology Grand Rounds, and Interhospital GI, Cardiology, Renal, and Infectious Disease Rounds.
