Division lectures will be scheduled following M&M conference on Friday from 13:45pm to 14:30pm.Attendance at all Friday lectures is mandatory with coverage provided primarily by attendings & fellows, with additional help by upper level residents as needed, particularly in L&D.
Friday M & M Conference
A formal M&M conference will be held every Friday from 12:30 to 13:45. Attendance is MANDATORY. Obstetrics and Gynecology consists largely of young, healthy women with relatively few co-morbidities, and mortality is rare. However, interesting and/or difficult cases abound, and there are multiple incidences in which a suboptimal outcome results either from a mistake of commission or omission; or perhaps just as important, a poor outcome is avoided due to timely intervention and appropriate management. Presenting cases of this nature (and obviously those with a devastating outcome) in an open forum is an excellent way to identify errors to avoid in the future, or highlight successful management techniques and problem-solving skills.
Grand Rounds
These are generally held once a month and begin in July. They are usually at noon on Friday and all residents will be given advance notification. Attendance is mandatory. Please make sure to sign the roster at each conference you attend.
MFM Lectures
MFM lectures occur each Wednesday at 0645 in the WIC to discuss OB topics based on the CREOG objectives. One Wednesday of each month will be a journal club. All residents on the OB team, Night Float, OBCC, and U/S are expected to attend
Rotation Specific Conferences
Most rotations have specific conferences while residents are on this specific rotation however these are constantly in flux and may change from rotation to rotation. When beginning a new rotation it is the chief’s responsibility to check with the attendings to verify dates and times of all conferences while on rotation and make their team aware of these.
Tuesday Gyn Conference
This is held every Tuesday at 0700 in the WIC in order to discuss interesting GYN topics. All residents on the Gyn team and UroGyn team are expected to attend.
Attendance
It is extremely important that each of you sign in for the various conferences. If you are unable to attend (in the OR, post call, in clinic, vacation), please either have a colleague make that notation on the roster or call Nancy and let her know. Attendance is otherwise mandatory. Upper level residents are expected to send the lower levels if only part of the team is able to attend. Failure to maintain adequate attendance, 70% per quarter, will result in having the resident’s book fund frozen.
