Internal Medicine/Pediatrics Specifics
Med-Peds Journal Club – Approximately nine sessions per year, occurring on a near-monthly basis. One resident typically presents an article of interest and provides a critical appraisal and recommendations for us to implement (or not) into clinical practice. A second resident will be paired up to provide a deeper dive into a topic directly or indirectly related to the article presented, focusing on board-relevant content. Med-Peds residents, attendings, and alumni in the relevant subspecialty are often present to provide additional insight into the article and topic presented.
- Med-Peds Curriculum – Weekly on Fridays, we discuss a Med-Peds topic that may be presented by a faculty member or a resident. This incorporates the Yale Curriculum for ambulatory Pediatric topics and the Johns Hopkins PEAC modules for Internal Medicine. We also incorporate a longitudinal QI curriculum with dedicated time for research, as well as DEI topics into this weekly curriculum.
- Clinical Reasoning Curriculum – A unique resident-driven model where senior residents work one-on-one with interns to help them translate medical knowledge into clinical reasoning skills in a case-based format. POCUS and simulation are incorporated into these monthly sessions and serve as a great opportunity for our residents to improve their teaching and leadership skills.
