Ambulatory Care Rotation Conferences
Residents rotating on ACR1 (Pediatric Behavior and Development), ACR2 (Career Development) and ACR3 (Adolescent Medicine) meet weekly on Tuesday mornings from 9-12 to have small group discussion-style conferences. These conferences are moderated by the ambulatory care attending of the month and are each given by a clinician-teacher. All residents take part in a formal journal club led by Dr. Van Cleave during this time as well. The topics covered in these sessions run on a three year cycle so that all residents are exposed to all topics over the course of their three years of residency.
