Seeking Recommendations for Courses/Conferences for PGY-3 & PGY-4 Residents

[LaToya James]

Hello everyone,

I hope this message finds you well! I am currently looking to gather insights on which courses or conferences various programs typically send their residents to, particularly for those in their 3rd and 4th years of training.

If you could share your program’s approach or any specific events that have been beneficial for their education or professional development, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you in advance for your contributions!

Best,

LaToya

Our chiefs get access to Miller Review and it’s their choice to attend in person or virtual.  They also get to choose one additional conference to attend.  The 4th years attend the AAOS annual meeting.  The 3rd years attend the Ipos/Posna annual meeting in December. They are all happy residents with no complaints about the conferences they attend except when their non-itemized meal receipts get rejected for reimbursement.

Best,

Helen

I hope this helps, we send our PGY 2 – 5 residents to conferences. With what is budget, how it applies to their education, and registration fee’s. Our GME department pays for all their conference. With going off what Helen said somethings are not covered like their non-itemized meal receipts, but the residents enjoy the conferences.

 

If you have any further questions, my email: alivia.franklin@mclaren.org

Best,

Alivia

Good morning LaToya and all,

 

The Foundation for Orthopedic Trauma (FOT) offers resident scholarships to PGY2-4 residents to attend their dissection courses throughout the year as well as their Annual Trauma symposium. Additionally, for the PGY4-Trauma Level fellow there is a Pelvic /Acetabular course that takes place each May.  Please send residents to : https://fotnorthamerica.org/events/ to register for the 11/7&8/25 meeting in Long Beach, CA  as well as the January 29+30/26 in Las Vegas, NV.  The rest of 2026 event should be up on the events page soon so feel free to keep this information handy as scholarships are offered on a first come first serve basis.

 

Thank you!
