Transitional Residency

Resident Presentations

There are presentations required of the Transitional residents during their year-long program.  Some presentations are in small group and others are in the large group forum.  All presentations are meant to promote not only information mastery but also to allow a mechanism for residents to develop their public speaking and presentation skills in a learner centered and constructive environment.  All presentations given by residents are evaluated by the faculty and the feedback is given in an electronic and individualized fashion.  In addition, hard copies of all presentations given are kept in the resident's individual binders as part of their scholarly activity requirement.
 
These requirements are as listed below:

Conference Details:

 
Chart Stimulated Recall - In place of traditional morning report, a small-group session is held once per two week Night float block that allows the night float team members to actively reflect on their documentation and clinical thought process.  A core faculty member guides the documentation review and a billing reviewer evaluates the History and Physical from a billing perspective.  The intern is then given individualized formative feedback on ways to improve documentation of their thought process to better patient care.
 
Journal Club - Faciliated by the Chief Medical Resident, the Journal club is focused on the monthly topics that define the annual core lecture series.  Two to three articles are selected for the hour long conference and are critically reviewed by core Medicine and core subspecialty faculty in a large group forum.  Active resident participation is encouraged and at times article presentation is asked of specific residents.
 
Resident Report - Scheduled twice a week is a large group resident report that is held and precepted by either the Chief Medical Resident or the Program director. Cases are presented by PGY-1 residents on GIMS / ECLS and by all other representatives from the GIMS services. Audience members actively participate as core faculty attendings assist in developing the teaching points of the case.
 
Show and Tell - All residents participate in sharing an interesting patient finding. This can be quite varied, whether it is an interesting XRay, EKG, histologic slide, or historical artifact.  Every session always proves to bring something interesting to the table.
 
Transitional Scholarly Activity - All Transitional residents are required to perform a Transitional Scholarly activity (TSA) during their year.  The topic is completely of their choosing and the format and media utilized can be determined by them.
