Core Topics 

In additon to clinical rotations, all residents gather every Wednesday afternoon for didactics, or as we call it, Core. Our Core is organized as Theme Days, with the majority of Wednesday afternoons devoted to a theme. In addition to didactic presentations, we cover Board questions, practice procedures, and review case histories, all pertinent to the day's theme. Below is a tentative list of Theme Days for the next three year's of Core.
