We have weekly didactics scheduled every Thursday from 12 noon until 4 pm. Coming together once a week allows for residents to gather together with their colleagues on a regular schedule to focus on learning and fellowship.
Starting at noon allows us to invite more guest speakers and share a meal together. Ending at 4 allows residents time to get back to their clinical sites or an earlier end to the day, depending on rotation.
Our didactic sessions will be primarily in person, but will include a mix of lectures, workshops, peer-teaching, as well as online and asynchronous educational opportunities.
We are working with other training programs to develop collaborative educational experiences with residency programs in the region.
Our schedule is broken into thirteen 4-week blocks. We will transition to new rotations on the first Monday of a block.
As a community-based program, our goal is to integrate our residents into the life and needs of our surrounding community as much as possible. Most of our rotations will be based right here on the hospital campus. You should be able to park your car and walk to the clinic, hospital, and most of our outpatient specialty clinics. Our pediatric hospital rotations will be based at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital - Liberty Campus, which is located right across the interstate from our clinic. The rotations that are not right here on campus have been planned deliberately to take advantage of community resources -- an FHQC pediatric clinic, a local Planned Parenthood, a school-based health clinic, and the county health department.
Our first rotation for interns will be a shared block called Introduction to Family Medicine. You will work with your co-interns in a sort of extended orientation. Our goal is to get everyone used to working as a team, getting oriented in the Family Medicine Practice, and having a chance to rotate through a few of our sites as you get started in residency.
Call / Nights: Our adult inpatient team will be operating with a night-float system. Interns will have an introduction to night-float, and our second and third year residents will eventually be supervising interns at night during 2 week blocks of their inpatient blocks. During intern year you will have some night shifts for labor and delivery.
Weekends: Our hospitals never close. We will share responsibilities to cover weekend times for our adult inpatient service. Our other hospital-based rotations will also include some weekend work. During outpatient-based rotations, expect to have some weekends off and some weekends scheduled to help manage our inpatient service. As a new program, our exact plans are subject to change as we find out what works best for education, patient care, and resident wellness. Expect flexibility and transparency.
Each rotation and educational experience will include a formal evaluation. Our residents will be tracked as they progress and a faculty committee will meet regularly to review that each resident is
