Didactics 

Thursday mornings are protected time for didactics.  The typical format of didactics includes resident run lecture, possible guest lecture, M&Ms, and oral board practice.  The SCORE curriculum is followed for the yearly academic programming. Tumor board is also open to residents at most of our rotation sites.

Journal Club

Monthly journal clubs are part of our training.  Typically, this time is used to have residents meet outside of the hospital and discuss the selected journal articles for the month. 

Radiology Conference

Each month at Olympia Fields we meet with the radiology residents to review interesting cases from the month. We review the imaging findings and discuss our interventions.

Emergency Medicine Conference

Each month at Olympia Fields we also meet with the EM service and attending physicians to discuss a select topic for review. Presentations are led by a surgery PGY4.
