Anesthesiology Residency Program Curriculum

Each resident class is relieved from their clinical duties once a week to attend core curriculum conferences. The topic of their conference is taken from the ABA content outline and may follow one of several formats. For example, problem-based learning discussions are small-group, case-based, problem-oriented, resident-centered discussions in an informal, collegial, and supportive learning environment that lends itself to the interchange of ideas. The case scenarios are distributed in advance of the session, allowing the resident to embark on an individual study program to identify and solve the problems posed in the case before the group discussion. These sessions are moderated/facilitated by faculty members. Curriculum lectures are formal presentations by a faculty member on basic and major topics in our field and may take on a flipped classroom format so that the conference becomes an interactive session to discuss the scenarios or participate in simulation exercises related to the topic. The objective of the academic afternoons is to completely cover the entire curriculum over a three-year cycle.
