Conferences

Our Med-Peds residents attend both categorical and Med-Peds conferences. 

Med-Peds Noon Conference

The joint educational component of the UM/JMH Med-Peds Program is the once weekly Med-Peds noon conference series. The Med-Peds noon conference curriculum is based on a two year rolling curriculum centered on core ambulatory and inpatient topics in both Internal Medicine and Pediatrics and unique to Med-Peds.  Speakers consist of faculty, residents and select fellows. Resident speakers may request guest attending facilitators.

Each academic period consists of four major categories of discussion (one per week):

  • Evidence-Based Guidelines

  • Ambulatory Medicine Topic

  • Interactive Case Discussion or Simulation

  • Evidence-Based Research Article

Med-Peds Clinic Conference Series

We have a clinic conference series that is an integral part of our curriculum.  This program utilizes the established Yale Office-Based Medicine curriculum and the Yale Primary Care Pediatrics curriculum to hone residents' knowledge and skills in ambulatory medicine.  Learners are assessed via pre and post-tests to ensure we continually tailor the information to meet their needs.  Third and fourth year residents serve as co-facilitators along with our faculty during these case-based discussions which provides our residents with yet another opportunity to develop their skills as physician educators.
