Each resident will present one 30-minute conference per year on a relevant topic which has been pre-approved by the Program Director. The colloquia should be Power Point presentations, and are attended by both residents and faculty. Each resident will also present one article per year from refereed journals for the Journal Club. The articles may be selected by the resident from those provided by faculty members or they may select an article from their own reading.
