Didactics
Didactic sessions are held from 7 a.m. to noon every Tuesday with subject matter corresponding to an 18-month rotating schedule of topics.
Presentations are assigned by the chief resident, program director and members of the medical education committee and are provided by multiple sources, including: attending staff, therapists, guest lecturers, nurses and residents. Residents typically give three to four presentations each year.
In addition, monthly lecture series are held on various topics – including EMG, spine, research methods and design, neuroanatomy – and a joint case conference is held with the Baylor Dallas radiology residency program. During training, residents also participate in a human anatomy series and an ultrasound lecture series on campus, as well as a quality improvement workshop presented by STEEEP® Global Institute, a department of Baylor Scott & White Health.
Journal Club
Journal club is hosted one afternoon or evening a month by an attending physician or outside sponsor at sites including Baylor Institute for Rehabilitation (BIR) or a local restaurant. Articles corresponding to that month’s topic are presented by the assigned team, amounting to three articles. Residents are encouraged to distribute articles of interest at any time, and the program director often sends copies of current, pertinent literature.
Grand Rounds
Grand rounds are held the second Tuesday of each month at BIR. Topics pertain to various aspects of rehabilitation medicine. Residents are responsible for presenting their research project to the department at a grand rounds session near the end of their fourth year.
