Children's Hospital at Sinai Pediatric Residency Program - Conferences

Noon Conference


Noon conference is a core component of the didactic curriculum. Lectures are given by faculty as well as guest speakers from different disciplines. Core lectures (i.e., fluid and electrolytes, anemia, antibiotics, etc.) are covered on a yearly basis, and other topics are covered on a rotating one-and-a-half to two-year cycle. This daily conference provides a wonderful educational opportunity for residents in an active setting. This is fully protected time for the residents. 

Discharge Conference


This popular weekly conference is attended by both faculty and house staff. Patients with interesting diagnoses or who have presented with diagnostic dilemmas are the focal points of this conference. Residents actively participate by presenting the selected cases along with a short discussion of the topic of interest. This conference stimulates exciting discussion among participants ranging from patient presentation and diagnosis to treatment/management. This conference is designed to facilitate and promote academic interaction between house staff and faculty and includes care from all inpatient, ICU and outpatient venues.
