Didactic Education Program
About
At the start of the residency in July, there are 3 weeks of an intensive CA1 lecture schedule dealing with basic considerations in anesthesia. For the rest of the year, CA1 residents attend their own weekly CA1 lecture program dealing with general anesthesia topics. Each resident class attends the lecture on a separate day. An interactive, resident-led session involving project-based learnings/case discussions/M & M/board question review begins at 16:00. A formal talk by a faculty member follows.
