Teaching Conferences
|
Lectures are scheduled from 7:00/7:30/8:00 to 9:00 AM each weekday. The small size of our program allows teaching conferences not only to be didactic, but also to involve active participation by all residents in an informal atmosphere.
Glaucoma lectures are held twice a month. Neuro-ophthalmology lectures are held weekly. Oculoplastics lecture is given on an arranged basis. A retina lecture is given monthly. Optics and Refraction are covered in a comprehensive lecture series annually. Cornea lectures are held twice a month. Fluorescein Angiography/Imaging Conference is held weekly, preceding Grand Rounds.
Grand Rounds are presented each Wednesday with special emphasis on the diagnosis and treatment of various ocular conditions. The responsibility for Grand Rounds is shared by residents and faculty on a rotating basis. Part-time faculty are encouraged to bring in clinical cases from outside the Medical Center for presentation. Visiting lecturers and faculty candidates may occasionally be invited speakers.
A practice-based learning and improvement conference occurs every two months.
A Clinicopathological Conference (CPC) occurs monthly. In addition, a series of lectures in eye pathology and resident readout activities are also part of the eye pathology curriculum. A nine-headed Olympus microscope makes simultaneous review of microscopic slides possible. Microscopic pathology on glass slides is available for resident review and the Lancaster Ocular Pathology Course is available through the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library.
