Conference schedule
Didactics
Our didactic sessions are held on most Wednesday afternoons from noon until 4:00pm or 5:00pm.
We have utilized a combination of remote sessions via WebEx and in-person sessions held in a large, newly built classroom.
Our didactics typically involve a guest speaker, a faculty presentation and resident presentations. We use a variety of platforms such as interactive Kahoot quizzes, journal clubs, flipped classrooms, etc. to keep didactics engaging, interactive and fun. We occasionally provide lunch or treats, though residents can always grab their food from the hospital cafeteria.
Resident and Fellow Well-Being Committee
The Resident and Fellow Well-Being Committee's (RFWBC) mission is to bring awareness to the importance of resident and fellow physician well-being, and to support residents' and fellows' efforts to be healthy, build resilience and find meaning and joy in their work.
The group works to achieve this by planning resident social events, developing a wellness curriculum and disseminating resources and training on stress management, burnout recognition and resiliency. The RFWBC is comprised of representatives from all GME fellowship and residency programs.
The committee organizes program-wide social activities and are advocates for initiatives that enhance well-being. The RFWBC has created a lactation room for nursing mothers and enhanced the GME presence within Orange Park Hospital through media and outreach.
The committee is active in developing interdepartmental quality improvement and research projects that provide holistic wellness initiatives for physicians.
