Goals, Objectives and Expectations: https://sites.uw.edu/medevalu/exploreandfocus/Executive Resident Rounds & Regular Teaching Conferences at SCH
Executive Resident Rounds are held the first- and fourth Thursday of a four-week block, 2:00-3:00PM with one of the pediatric executive (formerly chief) residents. All students on Explore & Focus rotations at SCH are welcome to join! During the session, a sub-I will give a brief (1 minutes) case presentation, and the ResExec will lead a discussion about pertinent physical exam findings, laboratory abnormalities, and radiographic findings. The sessions will be very interactive and all students are welcome to participate. A more thorough description is here. Please feel free to contact the ResExecs if you have any questions. You can find info about the other teaching conferences for SCH students here.
