Didactic Lecture Series
Didactic Lecture Series, (2:00–3:00 pm, each Tuesday; also from 12:00-1:00 pm during July and August): Faculty give didactic lectures on a wide variety of topics. As the important topics are too many to cover in one year, the lecture schedule is designed to cover all important topics at least once every two years. Before the lecture is to be given, faculty are asked to provide reading material (review, seminal paper, practice guideline, chapter, etc.) corresponding to the lecture. (These one to two key references may be something that summarizes what will be discussed, or they can be supplementary reading dealing with an important related issue that will not be specifically discussed.) These references (along with the slides used in the lecture) are made available to fellows via a password-protected repository called ACTOR, which is managed by the Dept. of Medicine.

Fellows’ Didactic Lecture and Journal Club
2013-2014
Aurbach Building – 450 Ray C. Hunt Drive – Fontaine
1st-floor conference room, 2:00-3:00 pm unless otherwise specified
NOTE: This is a proposed schedule for fellow didactic lectures for the 2013-2014 academic year. Importantly, the full complement of important lectures is too much to cover fully each year. Thus, the didactic lecture curriculum is designed to cover each important topic at least once every two years; and the below list will include many lectures not covered in 2012-2013. The July lectures are “crash course” lectures; these will be covered every year and are geared primarily toward the starting fellows.
