Recurring Meetings
Any and all of the standard program recurring meetings will be available to attend remotely via Zoom platform for the residents when they move to the rural sites. These didactics will not be required for PGY-2 & PGY-3 rural residents, but the residents will be encouraged to attend remotely* especially the MSK/SM topics, the AFP journal review, the Journal Club and the Bread and Butter conferences. The FM Grand Rounds series is required by the Sponsoring Institution.
Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
First Week of the Month | MSK Lecture Series with Ortho/Sports Medicine* | FM Topics with Rural Faculty | |||
Second Week of the Month | Quarterly Practice and Quality Improvement with Dr. Judkins | Family Medicine Grand Rounds* | |||
Third Week of the Month | Bread and Butter* | Journal Club* | AFP Journal Review with Dr. Ageslias and Dr. Vaughn* | ||

Workshops
Workshops will not generally be conducted with the standard program while PGY-2 and PGY-3 residents are in the rural sites, as workshops often require in-person attendance for hands-on training. Exceptions to this rule would be for KSA workshops and study groups which can be attended remotely.* Led by the standard program faculty, these interactive workshops can easily be conducted over Zoom platform and allow the rural residents to re-connect with their standard program colleagues.

Rotation-Specific Didactics
While some resources exist in the rural training sites for some curricular requirements (Geriatrics, Hospice/Palliative Care, Addiction Medicine) to be delivered, including didactic sessions, some specific rotations are not easily resourced from the rural training sites. In these cases, rotations will be conducted remotely* with Zoom link to the standard program faculty/course directors. As the rural program faculty and staff mature with experience, some of these specific rotations can be shifted to the rural site faculty (especially HSM2 and HSM3).
