Role of Fellows in Conferences
Laboratory Medicine Case Conference. Fellows will present educational clinical microbiology consultative material.
Plate Rounds. Fellows will play a leading role in organization of plate rounds. They will help determine the material being presented along with their cognate infectious disease fellows. They will help clinical microbiology residents structure their presentations. They will present material themselves and serve as a backup for less experienced microbiology residents.
Infectious Disease Case Conference and Immunocompromised Host Conference. These are BIDMC clinical management conferences. Clinical microbiology testing and data play a major role in workup of cases. Fellows will participate in conferences by commenting on the specifics of testing (sensitivity, specificity, alternatives, etc.) and will present material as short Powerpoint presentations as appropriate. Fellows are encourage to also participate in the weekly intercity infectious disease conference, bringing together the infectious disease community from hospitals across Boston and beyond.
Clinical Microbiology Administrative Meeting. Fellows will give input on administrative and quality assurance issues as a member of a large team of attendings, lead technologists, and our clinical manager.
Pathology Morbidity and Mortality Conference. In this weekly conference, root cause analysis of M&M issues related to laboratory diagnostics is discussed and fellows may participate as appropriate for microbiology diagnostics related issues.
