Didactics
Academic Half-Day
Residents are required to attend teaching seminars that are an active and critical part of each year of residency. The curriculum is designed to integrate basic concepts of biological, psychodynamic, and behavioral principles. The academic half-day for Wednesday afternoon didactics is protected time for all residents, with pagers rolling to attending physicians and Advanced Practice Providers, who cover the inpatient units.
