- Grand Rounds every Tuesday morning, providing the most up-to-date information on a wide variety of topics directed to an audience of community practitioners and hospital staff
- Case Management Conference on Thursday mornings where an individual case stimulates discussion among faculty and residents in an informal atmosphere
- Noon Conferences daily which form a large part of the core curriculum of didactic teaching
- A short talk most mornings for residents on primary care rotations, covering topics related to well-child care, anticipatory guidance and other primary care issues
- Morning rounds on the inpatient services encouraging bedside teaching and focused discussion of patient management issues.
- Other conferences, research seminars, journal clubs and special events occur within individual departments throughout the year. Staff make accommodations whenever possible to allow resident attendance at all conferences.
