CONFERENCE SCHEDULE

There are between 10 and 12 teaching conferences per week in the department. Each morning from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m., a curriculum of lectures (predominantly didactic) is provided for the residents. These presentations cover all subspecialty areas of radiology. The daily "noon" conference is usually in a case presentation format that focuses on a particular theme, with residents often asked to discuss the cases. Grand Rounds are presented on a nearly weekly basis during the academic year, usually by outside experts from either the New York City area or from around the country. On occasion, speakers from other disciplines are invited. One morning conference each month is devoted to discussion of the current radiologic literature, particularly with regard to analysis of articles in light of the scientific merit. This conference is conducted by the Chairman. Also on a monthly basis, the Program Director and Chairman conduct a "Chief of Service" session at one of the morning conferences, during which two residents each present a twenty-minute discussion on a radiologic topic of their choice.
