Conferences Departmental Conferences: A departmental conference schedule with a 2 year curriculum exists in compliance with ACGME requirements. Nine educational conferences are held each week for residents. Conferences take place at noon and at 4pm. Formats vary and include didactic lectures, unknown case conferences, and a combination of the two. Residents are given protected time to attend the conferences and are expected to attend. Attendance records are maintained and reviewed quarterly. Poor attendance may result in sanctioning. A typical conference schedule includes:
Quarterly conferences included Missed Case Conference, Journal Club and Grand Rounds. Residents lead conferences, particularly in preparation for presentations at national meetings. Guest speakers provide resident educational conferences on occasion. A specific short series of call-preparation conferences is held yearly in December. For the PGY2 class, a weekly 5pm conference is held entitled “Brant & Helms Club” throughout the year. This conference provides junior residents with a structured approach, using the B&H textbook as a scaffold, to learning the fundamentals of radiology. A specific conference series is provided to teach radiologic physics and radiobiology. Currently, this course takes place for a six week period in the PGY3 year at UCLA. The classes are 2 hours per day, 4 days per week. Residents are excused from clinical duties to attend and are expected to attend. Divisional conferences: each division holds conferences (some interdisciplinary). Details of these conferences are included in the Goals and Objectives documents available on the departmental intranet.
