Transitional Year lecture series are designed to complement the hands-on clinical experience encountered while on rounds, ultimately providing a well-rounded education. Transitional Year residents participate in conferences applicable to their rotations. Residents on the pediatric rotation will attend pediatric conferences at Columbus Children's Hospital. What follows is a list of conferences that Transitional Year residents attend while on the Internal Medicine rotation:
