==Curriculum==

Conferences are scheduled once a week from 7 am to 12 pm at Bethesda Hospital East. All residents have protected time the day of conference, as well as the previous night. Conferences are attended by emergency medicine residents, other residents, and medical students rotating in the emergency department. Our culture and incentives ensure that emergency medical faculty heavily attend conferences on a consistent basis.

Our didactics are system-based and utilize the Emergency Medicine Foundations. Lecture types consist of faculty lectures, resident lectures, morbidity and mortality, grand rounds, emergency medicine/internal medicine joint conference, emergency medicine/trauma joint conference, research updates, practice-based learning and improvement (evidence-based medicine and journal club).

====Simulation Lab====
FAU has two state-of-the-art simulation centers, with high-fidelity mannequins and task trainers. Once a month, residents participate in simulation lab, with cases prepared by our simulation-trained faculty. Residents also learn procedural skills using models in the simulation lab.
