Residents are required to attend a variety of meetings and conferences, including departmental, administrative staff meetings, committees, clinical meetings, and professional meetings. In most cases, the preceptor will assign meeting attendance at the beginning of the month. In other cases, the resident will be asked to attend a specific meeting by another preceptor to enhance the resident's education experience or assist with the development of a project. 

Hospital Meetings

• Weekly Resident Meeting:
  This meeting, held weekly with the Residency Program Manager or a designee, serves to keep the residents informed of progress and developments in the department. It also serves as a forum for didactic presentations of management topics as well as to broaden the residents' knowledge of professional issues.
• Pharmacy Administrative Staff Meeting:
  These weekly meetings serve to coordinate all of the operations and clinical services for the Department of Pharmacy. Residents participate as members of this meeting on a rotating basis, serving as the secretary.
