Here you will find a listing of our seminars, didactic and online education modules that we are routinely using in our residency training.
On our 4+1+1 schedule, interns go to their Academic Half Day whenever they are on the 1+1 part of their schedule. For upper level residents, on the 4+4 schedule, they have their Academic Half Day on the +4 part of their schedule.
We cover a large number of areas of medicine, including seminars on distinct disease-specific topics (e.g. diabetes care, anemia, leukemia, ventilator management, Journal Clubs, EKG reading, medical interviewing, evidence-based medicine, cost-conscious care, clinical reasoning, and quality improvement, among others).
We have a curriculum for the intern year, and a 2-year curriculum for the PGY2 and PGY3 classes that covers all of the specialties of medicine.
The Primary Care and TEACH residents attend morning report on Tuesdays at UC Davis and we do an outpatient morning report, concentrating on educational cases from clinic, to allow focused discussion on common outpatient problems.
One of our Associate Program Directors, Carolina Candotti, is an expert in POCUS, and is part of SHM core POCUS faculty. She started in July 2021 and has redesigned our POCUS training, which now includes a longitudinal POCUS curriculum, monthly didactic POCUS workshops, didactic lectures and the option of a POCUS elective rotation for residents. Over a 3-year integrative longitudinal curriculum, residents learn to acquire and interpret focused cardiac, pulmonary, abdominal, soft tissue, and procedure ultrasound images. Ultimately, residents learn to integrate this information into their management decisions. One of our core faculty is also a Sports Medicine physician, and he helps with musculoskeletal POCUS education.
