Conferences
Conference review procedure
Required, recurring conferences
Conferences that occur on a regular basis and that follow a consistent format will be reviewed at the end of each month by all fellows. A sufficient period of time, at the conclusion of the last half-day of conferences, will be dedicated to the conference review process. In effect, fellows will be given the opportunity to reflect on their educational experience on a monthly basis.
Examples: Perinatal review; neonatal core curriculum; fetal treatment
Required, intermittent conferences
Conferences that occur less frequently and that follow a consistent format will be reviewed at the conclusion of month during which the conference occurred. Since the format would be familiar to the fellows, the lapse of time between conference and reflection/review likely would not impair the fellows' ability to accurately critique their learning experience.
Examples: Neonatal morbidity and mortality; clinical consensus
Required, unique conferences
Conferences that occur intermittently and that do not follow a set format or contain familiar content will be evaluated immediately at the conclusion of each such conference.
Examples: Fellows' and faculty's research presentations; invited lecturers
