At Fort Wayne, you will experience a series of lectures that covers the full range of family medicine. Most formal lectures are held on Thursday afternoons, and residents are required to attend unless they are covering one of the hospitals or are on the night float rotation. During these sessions, lectures are given by faculty, specialists, and sometimes by the residents themselves. Topics range from diabetes management to circumcisions to poison ivy. Many lectures also deal with practice management issues and other “practical” subjects (such as tax law or contracts).

Morning conference is held from 7:00 - 7:45 am Monday through Friday. These sessions are devoted to clinical education, lectures and discussion by faculty, residents, and hospital specialists. Each of the hospitals also holds regular noon conferences, at which resident attendance is optional.
