The MUSC Department of Pediatrics curriculum utilizes both structured daily educational experiences with directed self-learning to help our residents attain their educational goals. Didactic sessions are organized in such a way as to provide a wide breadth of knowledge without sacrificing individualized mentorship.

Morning Report occurs every Monday through Wednesday and is attended by medical students, residents, and faculty. Though the session is resident-driven, it is an open forum such that all attendants are encouraged to participate, express their opinions, and share their knowledge. Cases are typically decided in advance. Chief Residents prepare a short summary slideshow highlighting the disease, its symptoms, management, etc and is presented at the conclusion of the case presentation. Further, the program utilizes a campus "wiki" site to archive each case presentation, the summary slideshow, references, and noteworthy commentary made by faculty, attendants, and guests for residents to review.

Board Review is scheduled every Thursday morning. Upper level residents present questions taken directly from the Pediatrics Review and Education Program (PREP) and lead discussion on question analysis. Arranged by topic/organ system, Board Review marries academic knowledge with clinical experience. Subspecialists are invited to attend these Board Review sessions to promote further education.

Grand Rounds occurs every Friday in the Storm Eye Institute auditorium. Guest speakers are invited from not only from the Medical University of South Carolina but also from institutions around the country. Topics range from general pediatrics, specialty pediatrics, and ethics to the latest research. All sessions are videotaped and made available through the library.

Noon Conference are held daily. Catered meals are provided to residents. Noon conference is protected time for residents--support staff are encouraged to refrain from paging residents unless absolutely necessary. Speakers for noon conference are invited from all Pediatrics Departments including all subspecialties.
