::::::::: Conferences  ::::
Didactics are considered a key component of the Emergency Medicine Residency Program. Each resident begins the program with ACLS, ATLS, and PALS certification. There are five hours of weekly didactic conferences given by Emergency Medicine faculty, residents, and guest lecturers. The conferences are arranged around a modular curriculum with each module focusing on a specific topic. Faculty provide extra coverage in the emergency departments to allow all residents to attend each conference. Each module incorporates core lectures, case conferences, text reviews, and testing questions designed to maximize learning for board preparation. Our residency program also offers a monthly journal club didactic methodology session which includes article reviews. These sessions are typically held at a faculty home in the evenings.

In addition to the Emergency Medicine conference schedule, Emergency Medicine faculty and residents teach a lecture series geared towards rotating interns and medical students. The lectures are held every Thursday in the Emergency Care Center at Grady Memorial Hospital. The other clinical services of Grady Memorial Hospital provide a large number of formal conferences on a weekly basis. Similarly, the other hospitals of the residency program provide numerous opportunities to attend conferences on diverse subjects pertinent to Emergency Medicine residents.
