Topical Seminars
Once every four to six weeks residents will engage in a half-day, highly interactive and enriching learning process. Residents will participate in small-group activities such as case study analysis and dialogue with advanced practice nurses and health care experts. You will be guided in the application of knowledge to advance your clinical judgment skills and ability to effectively problem solve. These sessions, supervised by a resident facilitator, also allow time for residents to share experiences, receive support and explore themes such as self-care.
