A New Curriculum Format Launched in Madison
Contributors:
Melissa Stiles MD Beginning in August, the Madison Family Medicine Residency Program will pilot "clustered didactic sessions" into the seminar curriculum. Until now, most of the didactic curriculum has been based on a two year rolling seminar series for the second and third year residents. This has been a large group format and residents might miss a seminar if they are on inpatient rotations.
Each second and third resident will have one clustered didactic week per year based on when they do the rotations of focus. By clustering a set of topics into smaller groups, problem based learning and procedure skills can more effectively be taught.
Areas of focus for the next year are:
- Gynecology
- Practice Management
- Geriatrics
- Musculoskeletal.
A competency evaluation will be developed and integrated into each session.
