DIDACTIC CURRICULUM
Our Wednesday morning didactic curriculum has been revamped to include a combination of in-person and virtual learning opportunities.
PGY1 residents are given protected time to attend didactics on all rotations.
During any given month, residents will hear from multiple specialists, review topics with core family medicine faculty, cover board review questions led by fellow residents and participate in a monthly journal club.
Each class also spends time with our behaviorist in a structured support group, focused on processing the challenges of residency and building healthy strategies and habits.
Once a month, a small group of 6-8 residents spends the morning in the Mount Carmel Center for Innovation Learning. In this small group setting, residents will attend four separate simulation workshops throughout the year: Inpatient Cases, Preventive Medicine, Procedures and Outpatient Cases. This hands-on environment provides a safe place to practice many patient care and communication skills.
Each month, we also attend Family Medicine Grand Rounds as well as the Combined Residency Education Seminar Series (CRESS).
CRESS is a unique lecture series in which all Mount Carmel residents of different specialties gather for specific competency-based and interprofessional learning opportunities.
