ID Case Conference
ID Case Conference
Day/time: Mondays, 3:00 pm – 4:15 pm
Place: Carter-Harrison Building, MR6, Room 2501
At ID case conferences, an inpatient fellow presents a diagnostically challenging case or a case with difficult or controversial management decisions to an attending discussant in the audience. The case is presented as it unfolded, with pauses for the discussant to give their thoughts, provide a differential diagnosis, and request further information. Ultimately, the discussant provides their final diagnosis and elements of the case are discussed in further detail by the fellow presenter. Designed to demonstrate the thought process undertaken by our highly esteemed faculty when working through a difficult case, this conference is a favorite of fellows and faculty alike.
