Curriculum & Education
Overview
Cooper residents attend 5.5 hours per week of conference. The core curriculum is taught over an 18-month period in monthly modules. Each module is devoted to a core content area; e.g. trauma, critical care, or infectious disease. Residents receive protection from clinical duties during conferences and the majority of the curriculum is taught by Cooper EM faculty. The core curriculum is taught in both a traditional lecture-based setting and using the new, non-traditional 'flipped classroom' method. In the past several years, Cooper has embraced innovative instruction through the use and development of podcasts, directed reading assignments, and the expansion of our asynchronous content.
