DESCRIPTION
This activity is held weekly on Thursday, 12:15 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.

This conference is the Departmental forum in which residents and visiting professors present clinical topics of interest, clinical cases, or personal research interests.  Each resident presents one conference per year for each training year. Topics are presented which represent an area of interest for the presenter and an area of clinical utility for the general audience.  A faculty advisor is chosen and it is the responsibility of that advisor or the course director to make certain that the topic has general appeal. Topic suggestions are solicited from the audience as well.

TARGET AUDIENCE
Multidisciplinary (Physicians, mid-level health care providers, allied health staff, medical students)

• Assess systems for medical errors (real or potential) through root cause analysis (quarterly systems based errors presentation)
• Describe how to provide constructive feedback to presenters (to aid them in their growth as public speakers) through the use of a standardized evaluation form distributed and collected at each session (these forms are used for feedback sessions with presenters by the course director)
