DIDACTICS

Tuesday afternoons are protected for educational activities. Family Medicine and Community
Health Grand Rounds are held every Tuesday at noon at the Memorial Campus and are televised
at the Health Center and Leominster Hospital. Second and third year resident Balint group and
afternoon didactics follow Grand Rounds. Didactics cover a wide array of medical, community
health, and behavioral medicine topics as well as procedural skills and practice management topics.
Each month, the second and third year residents lead OB and HIV rounds as well as Journal Club.
Morning lecture occurs daily at Health Alliance Hospital after sign out. Attending led Chart Review
occurs daily after the PM clinic session. The resident staff is directly involved in several ongoing QA
projects at the Health Center. Interns have one dedicated Tuesday afternoon per month for workshops.

We are constantly improving the curriculum as needs and opportunities change; therefore, the
curriculum above is subject to change.
