Housestaff Conferences & Activities

Teaching conferences are designed to provide the opportunity for an informal exchange of ideas among faculty, housestaff and students.

Most conferences are held during the noon lunch hour in the pediatric classroom on the 7th floor of the University Hospital (7403).
