Didactics lecture series are a ½ day each week held every Wednesday morning at which time residents are excused from site responsibilities. Lectures occur on an 18-month rotating schedule allowing residents to hear topics twice during their residency.

Journal Club occurs on a monthly basis. Residents lead the discussion of a classic and current journal article. The program director attends these sessions to add additional input and experience.

Resident Seminars are completed by each resident on a rotating schedule once per year. During these seminars, residents review a pertinent topic in PM&R and present to fellow residents and staff.

MetroRehab:
These sessions serve as our grand rounds and involve an invited speaker. Two to three residents also present interesting cases and involve the audience in a lively discussion of a topic or controversial issue in PM&R. These educational sessions occur quarterly.  Each resident presents once per year.

Research Requirement:
Residents are required to perform some type of research project and present their results to the group. This can involve anything from a literature review to a clinical project. Residents will be provided guidance and mentoring to assist with their project. If your project involves a poster or platform presentation at a national conference, the department will pay for your expenses to attend the conference.

The National PM&R Self-Assessment Exam is given annually.

Continuity Clinic occurs every 2nd and 4th Thursday afternoon of each month. This experience begins your G3 year and continues through the G4 year. Residents are excused from their rotation responsibilities during this time.

Elective Clinic occurs every 1st, 3rd, and 5th Thursday afternoon. Residents choose areas of interest to pursue during this time and are allowed to rotate through as many clinics as elected.

National Organizations:
The program supports those residents interested in participation in AAP AAPM&R meetings and national events. Residents elected to these rotating positions attend their respective national meetings.
