Grand Rounds, Lectures and Academic Events
A series of introductory lectures is presented during July and August. These lectures are intended to orient the first-year PM&R residents to the types of patients and their problems which they will encounter throughout their career. These lectures are presented by faculty and allied rehabilitation professionals.
Didactic lectures consist of a series of lectures and demonstrations taught by faculty, residents and guest lecturers. The sessions are intended to review anatomy, physiology and kinesiology. Textbooks and articles are referenced. These lectures extend from September to the following June and are held on Wednesday mornings at MossRehab Hospital.
Each resident is assigned to present one Grand Rounds yearly on a topic of interest that has an identified educational need. An in-depth discussion is presented to residents, faculty and invited physicians and staff. The resident will utilize handouts, audiovisual aids, guest experts and/or clinical material.
The Grand Rounds Schedule for 2008/2009 can be viewed here.
The residents will be assigned journal articles and will lead a discussion of the clinical and research merits of the paper. Journal Clubs occur monthly at Temple University Hospital within the clinical science curriculum under the supervision of a faculty member.
