Conferences & Didactic Teaching

The department firmly believes that teaching takes many forms, including structured didactics and simulation, and many informal teaching opportunities during our daily clinical work on Labor and Delivery, in clinic, and in the OR.

Wednesday afternoons are protected time for residents to attend didactics and department meetings. 

Monthly education schedule:

1st Wednesday: Simulation lab
2nd Wednesday: Grand Rounds, Obstetrics M&M, didactics
3rd Wednesday: Gyn pre-op conference, Urogyn/Gyn Oncology M&M, didactics
4th Wednesday: Grand Rounds, Benign Gynecology/REI/CFP M&M, didactics
5th Wednesday: Wellness

Highlights of the didactic curriculum include: 

  • Topics selected by the resident education leads based on resident interest and “most missed” CREOG questions.
  • Obstetricians as Teachers (OATs) sessions to equip residents to be confident medical educators.
  • Focused research preparation with a PhD Epidemiologist from our department. 
  • Obstetric and gynecologic quality improvement opportunities.
