In addition to the core conference series each parent department offers, the Med-Peds residents and faculty get together three times every month for educational and programmatic meetings. Two Med-Peds Rounds occur each month, where core topics are reviewed as well as evidence based CATs (critically appraised topics) and reviews of developmental pediatric topics. As well, the med-peds residency committee meets once a month to review programmatic improvements.
Baystate hosts a fall and a spring Med-Peds retreat each year. This 5 hour event is typically hosted at the home of the program director. Residents gather to discuss programmatic issues for 1 hour followed by a dining and social event for the remainder of the retreat. This is a wonderful opportunity for the residents to gather and socialize as a group.
