Family Medicine Didactics occur weekly on Wednesday afternoons from 12:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and include topics presented by Family Medicine physicians, pharmacists, specialists, and other medical educators. Family Medicine-pertinent topics run on an 18-month cycle and routinely incorporate behavioral science and pediatric topics. A full list of didactic disciplines is presented below. In recent years, we have offered both fully remote and hybrid learning opportunities based on local viral activity within the COVID-19 pandemic.
Other didactic activities include: chronic care team meetings, Electronic Health Record (EHR) updates/best practices, Medical Decision Making (MDM), Morbidity and Mortality Conferences, wellness activities, Chief meetings, Program Director meetings, and administrative time for emails, notes, and patient follow up tasks. Our quality improvement curriculum was recently redesigned but remains dedicated to multi-disciplinary workgroups supporting evidence-based improvements in patient care within our office and community. All Family Medicine residents are expected to attend didactics unless on a restricted rotation or vacation.
