Occupational & Environmental Medicine
Continuing Medical Education
Grand Rounds
Approximately two Grand Rounds in Occupational and Environmental Medicine are given each month, generally from 9:30am through 10:30am. Speakers include Penn faculty, Guest Speakers from outside the University, and Occupational Medicine Residents. In order to ensure clinical relevance each resident presentation must begin with a short description of a clinical case to which the presentation applies. Speakers almost always use a standard PowerPoint presentation and provide a detailed handout.
Journal Club
The Journal Club sessions are held on one Thursday and Friday a month, generally from 8:30am through 9:30am. Both residents and faculty present articles according to a schedule. A template of issues to be addressed in a critical appraisal of the literature is presented to residents. One article is presented, critiqued and discussed at each session. For maximum utility, articles should be read in advance. The articles cover a broad range of topics related to Occupational and Environmental Health. There are 24 journal presentations per year. Attendance at all sessions provides a good overview and analysis of contemporary research findings in Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
