Conferences
The morning clinical conference schedule
is comprehensive. Every weekday morning from 7:00 to 7:30 am,
all faculty members and residents meet in the conference room.
The junior resident on-call presents the emergency room cases
from the evening before. This serves as quality control and
educational experience for residents. After the emergency room
review, all faculty are required to present their operative
cases for the day. They may be called upon to defend their
cases. This is an unusual activity and requires that faculty
members teach and explain their operative indications. Following
the faculty presentation, residents show radiographs of patients
who were operated on the day before, so that all individuals can
see some of the technical results from the previous day’s
surgery.
Wednesday morning, following the didactic
basic conference, we have Grand Rounds. Since we are located in
a metropolitan area with four other academic medical
institutions, we have the luxury of having a large number of
outside speakers from the other institutions available to give
presentations which help diversify the resident educational
experience.
Four times a week at 6:15 am, a clinical
conference is scheduled. This is a monthly rotating conference
on pediatric orthopaedics, trauma, basic science, quality
assurance, sports medicine, adult reconstruction, spine, and
hand and upper-extremity, and is administered by a faculty
member. Once a week at 6:15 am, a faculty member administers an
indications conference which discusses, in depth, surgical
indications for musculoskeletal diseases. Finally, each service
has its own clinical conference with residents and fellows who
are rotating on the service. All resident education conferences
are daily at 6:15 am so as not to conflict with clinical affairs
and assure maximal attendance.
