Didactic Sessions
The Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at HUP
sponsors the weekly Didactic Seminar Series, which
is held each Tuesday and Thursday morning. Faculty
from the University of Pennsylvania School of
Medicine as well as allied health professionals
lecture and make presentations on specific topics
in the curriculum. The curriculum for the Seminar
Series is on an 18-month cycle and is based on
the Study Guide of the American Academy of Physical
Medicine and Rehabilitation, and Program Requirements
of the American Board of Physical Medicine and
Rehabilitation. Also included are sessions on
physicianship,
board preparation and research methods. Resident
case presentations are given monthly. And, an
"open forum" with the Program Director
takes place on the fourth Tuesday of each month.
In addition to the weekly Didactic Seminar Series,
each hospital affiliated with the HUP program
is expected to provide didactics to the residents.
At HUP, the regularly scheduled didactics and
