Non-clinical Curriculum

The Primary Care Residency residents participate fully in the categorical residency didactics, including Morning Report and Academic Half Day. Additionally, they get monthly didactic activities to supplement the categorical lectures.  Each quarter we hold one journal club, have one experiential learning activity and have a primary-care focused speaker during an academic half-day session. Some examples of experiential learning activities that we have done include: visits to an outpatient psychiatric day treatment facility for children, shadowing an audiologist, observing early intervention evaluations, visiting school-based health clinics, and touring our Center for Telehealth
