Pulmonary Conferences & Grand Rounds
Wednesday Morning Curriculum Conference
Wednesday mornings at 7:00 - 8:00AM
Our curriculum conference is conducted every Wednesday morning. A series of talks covering topics integral to the practice of P&CCM is developed by fellows and program leadership. During the three years of fellowship training, a fellow will be exposed to major topics pertinent to the practice of P&CCM at least once. Both fellows and faculty members from within the division and outside experts present topics. This conference is intended to improve the day-to-day practice of the fellows, prepare fellows for board certification and enhance presentation and educational skills.
