Conferences and Didactics
Formal conferences are held every Wednesday. Residents are not scheduled to work during conferences, and every attempt is made to avoid having them work the preceding night.
- An outstanding regular series of Grand Rounds speakers from across the country
- Joint conferences with neurologists, cardiologists and surgeons to discuss areas of overlapping interest
- Monthly journal club
- Faculty lectures on core curricular topics
- Regular lectures on electrocardiography, radiology, research design/statistics, toxicology, Disaster Medicine and wellness.
- Case reviews
- Monthly simulation exercises
Morning teaching rounds are also conducted daily at each clinical site. During these, a resident presents a case with a discussion and faculty contribute extra teaching points.
A third-year Teaching Resident is available on weekday afternoons at Mount Sinai to guide junior residents through difficult procedures and to supplement the bedside teaching provided by the attendings. Because they do not have clinical responsibilities, Teaching Residents also have time to investigate interesting clinical questions that arise during a shift.
