Conferences

Teaching conferences at Children's Hospital are carefully designed to comprehensively cover the field of pediatric medicine during the three years of residency training.

These conferences include:

• Morning reports led by the chief residents focusing on patients admitted to the hospital
  
  
• Daily noon conferences which form a large part of the core curriculum of didactic teaching in each specialty
  
  
• Daily “Theme of the Week” talks in Resident Continuity Clinic
  
  
• Formal teaching sessions on each rotation, for example, MWF morning talks by Critical Care attendings, covering basics such as shock or respiratory failure, and MWF talks in Primary Care, covering topics such as immunizations or infant feeding
  
  
• Weekly Grand Rounds on a wide variety of topics, given by distinguished speakers
  
  
• Weekly case management conferences where an individual case frames a discussion among faculty and residents
  
  
• Research seminars and special conferences occur at Children’s Hospital Research Institute (CHORI) and within individual departments throughout the year
  
  
• Quarterly Professor’s Rounds where faculty meet to discuss some of our most challenging cases
