The department of Anesthesiology maintains a vigorous conference schedule, with the aim of providing diverse opportunities each week for residents and faculty alike to interact and enhance learning. Monday Conferences are faculty-led lectures and discussions which allow attendings to highlight emerging research and best practices within their specialties. Wednesday morning Anesthesiology Grand Rounds are general topic presentations, led by departmental faculty, guest faculty speakers from within the medical center, and renowned national speakers as part of our Visiting Professor Lecture Series. M&M’s are held during Grand Rounds approximately once a month. Subspecialty conferences follow Grand Rounds each week. Thursday Afternoon Resident Conference is primarily a resident-led chapter review session, based on major Anesthesiology texts including Miller’s Anesthesia and Stoelting’s Anesthesia and Co-Existing Disease. M&M’s are held with a Res Ed Committee faculty member once a month during this series. The series concludes with a focused Board Review component each June. Monday conference and Thursday conference suspends over the summer, to make way for the annual CA-1 Lectures, a daily teaching series taught by faculty, based on key Anesthesiology texts. Journal Clubs are held intermittently throughout the year, usually in conjunction with Visiting Professors. Mock Orals are held twice each year. Six of our faculty members who participate in Mock Orals are official ABA Board Examiners. |
