WHO: Required for all PGY2 and PGY3 residents (except on MICU, Night Float, or Offsite Rotations). Encouraged for all PGY1 residents and medical students.

WHEN: Mondays & Fridays @ 11:15 am

WHERE: Gann Conference Room - 2nd floor

WHAT: A PGY2 or PGY3 presents an interesting or challenging case that they have encountered. After introducing the patient’s initial presentation, a chief resident or program director facilitates interactive discussion to improve clinical reasoning. On Mondays, the focus is on honing clinical and differential diagnosis skills. On Fridays, the focus is on diagnostic approach and interpretation.

HOW: PGY2 and PGY3 residents are selected in advance for dates to present, and can be found on the block schedules. It is that resident’s responsibility to identify a patient case, ideally that they have cared for personally, on which to present. This can be a diagnostic dilemma, rare diagnosis, or perhaps unique presentation of a common diagnosis. The presenting resident then generates a brief PowerPoint presentation based upon the templates below to outline the clinical scenario and provide key teaching pearls on the topic. Some things to keep in mind while creating this presentation:

  • Remove all patient-identifying information. Keep staff and providers anonymous as well.

  • Length of case description should not exceed 15 minutes to allow for discussion, questions, and teaching.

  • Imaging is always encouraged to be included, so long as names/MRNs are concealed.

  • Send presentations for review to the chief residents at least 2 days prior to presenting - If presenting on Monday, send by 5pm on Saturday. If presenting on Friday, send by 5pm on Wednesday.
