  • Matt Kelleher & Dana Sall are the course directors for the Clinical Skills course for MS1&2's and wanted to invite residents to participate in a unique teaching opportunity. They are looking for volunteers in February and March for 1-hour sessions, where you observe students conducting an H+P with the SP (~35-40 minutes), then provide direct feedback and teach students “at the bedside.” You will be provided a facilitator guide for each case. The final step will be observing the students giving a brief oral presentation followed by your feedback. The entire encounter will take approximately 55-60 minutes of your time. Feel free to email Matt (kellehmw@ucmail.uc.edu) or Dana (sallda@ucmail.uc.edu) directly with questions. Otherwise, if interested, please sign up for slots

  • Submissions to Ohio ACP is now open! Please consider submitting any research projects that you have been working on!

  • MKSAP 18 is fully accessible!! Pleas be sure to take you 5-question quiz that is released every Monday that covers past and future AHD topics. 

  • Feedback and improvement sessions for Geographic Wards will be every Tuesday and Friday in the UH NRR at 3PM. Come by with any thoughts. Remember to use the UCMC Geographic Wards page for updated information
