Didactics

Gynecology Morning Report Conference

Every Monday from 7:15 a.m. to 8 a.m.

Led by one of the senior residents, this provides a forum for the clinical review of a gynecologic clinical case. These sessions are interactive and facilitate discussion regarding patient management.  At the end of these sessions, board review questions pertaining to the topic covered that day are reviewed. These conferences are attended and monitored by faculty members.

Departmental Grand Rounds

Every Tuesday from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.

During Grand Rounds, which take place at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, there is a designated guest speaker on various topics related to Ob/Gyn. We bring in experts within the field to cover the most up to date information on a variety of topics. These sessions are often interactive. This is also the forum for residents to present cases at Morbidity and Mortality Conference. In addition, the annual Grody Great Debates is held during Grand Rounds. This is an educational, fun, and competitive event in which residents form teams mentored by a faculty member on controversial issues within the field of OB-GYN and defend their case in front of the faculty and designated judges.
