The class meets each Wednesday morning during the months the course is offered. The subject matter includes anatomy and embryology, physiology, histology and pathology, infectious diseases, microbiology and immunology, biochemistry, pharmacology and anesthesiology, and radiation biology. Each faculty director is responsible for providing references prior to the course and these references are forwarded to the residents so that they can be read prior to attending the lecture series. The course in physiology is enhanced by the participation of the faculty in Audiology and Speech Pathology. These courses are paid for by the department.
Residents also participate in the annual in-training examination.
