An interdisciplinary multi-institutional conference for rising chief residents.

摘要

Context and setting For the past 3 years we have held an interdisciplinary faculty development conference for rising chief residents at all of our affiliated institutions. The 4.5-hour conference occurs at the end of April, a few months prior to the start of the chief year.Why the idea was necessary Most disciplines hold annual retreats for rising chief residents, but these retreats are discipline-specific. Although there are some key differences within each discipline, the job of the chief resident is often not discipline-specific. Having rising chief residents from different disciplines participate in the conference allows for interdisciplinary exchange and could lead to future collaboration.
