Residency education at Sutter Roseville is built upon the establishment of foundational knowledge and skills pertinent to the field of internal medicine. Held on regular intervals throughout the academic year, didactics will be led by various program faculty members as well as keynote speakers from the community and external organizations.

• Basic Science Lectures — These lectures cover the fundamentals of medical sciences. Lectures will prepare residents with the foundational knowledge needed for internal medicine.
• Clinical Case Conferences — Residents present a clinical case that had an adverse outcome or “near miss,” with guidance from a faculty member. Clinical Case Conferences allow residents to learn from errors in a constructive and safe environment, promoting residents’ life-long learning and comfortability in self-reflection.
• Journal Club — Residents will present a recent scholarly article and guide a larger discussion between fellow residents and faculty.
• Morbidity and Mortality (M&M) Conferences — Over the three years of the internal medicine residency program. M&M Conferences are an opportunity for residents to thoroughly analyze and present one of their cases to ultimately improve system processes.
• Grand Rounds — Residents will participate in grand rounds to discuss patient cases with peers and faculty members.
• Quality Improvement/Patient Safety Committee — Residents become part of the committee and are actively involved with identifying feedback and resolutions on “near misses,” adverse events and serious adverse events.
• High Value Care Series — The lectures will be led by faculty and invited speakers on numerous topics related to healthcare costs, cost-benefit analyses in medicine and eliminating healthcare waste.
• Professionalism Conferences — These conferences will help to deepen residents’ and faculty members’ understanding of the program’s professionalism expectations and past situations in which there were breaches in professionalism.
• Fatigue and Stress Management — Residents and faculty will be engaged to learn about fatigue mitigation processes and stress management tools. One of our goals at Sutter Roseville to ensure all individuals maintain a high level of well-being.
