Conferences and Grand Rounds

Structured Learning

Grand rounds - faculty and residents watching a presentation

Grand Rounds session

In addition to the patient experience, well-organized structured learning opportunities are available. Ward rounds are held daily with the attending physician. We have integrated our didactic curriculum over the course of the residency training, hence offering a more comprehensive learning experience.

The weekly Chairman’s Round is aimed to review interesting or challenging cases with the faculty. The weekly neuroradiology conferences give the resident opportunity to review the neuro-radiological images with our neuro-radiology faculty. Neurologic emergency conferences are held in July and August to prepare incoming adult neurology residents to take call.

Dr. Virmani, one of our movement disorder experts, hosts the very popular video-rounds where he presents and discusses selected movement disorder cases.

Our residents also get the opportunity to attend the Annual meeting of American Academy of Neurology or other professional meetings of similar standing.

Noon Conference Schedule

Noon resident conferences are held in the Lucy Library, Room 802, Jack T. Stephens Spine and Neuroscience Institute, with most conferences occurring during the noon hour. In addition to noon resident conferences, Chairman’s Rounds are held in the Lucy Library on Thursdays at 8:00 a.m. and weekly Neuroradiology conferences are held in the Diner Conference Room, First Floor, Department of Radiology, on Wednesdays at 4:00 p.m.
