Rounds, scheduled conferences and involvement by house staff members form the basis of the teaching program. Patient rounds are conducted by house staff during daily rounds, by attending physicians on a scheduled basis everyday, and by faculty making subspecialty rounds.
Scheduled conferences include subspecialty conferences, grand rounds, seminars in medicine, clinicopathological conferences, a morbidity and mortality conference, and chief's rounds. In addition, the chief of service and attendings from several subspecialties attend morning report each weekday.
