We realize that residents are mature, self-directed learners and we actively engage them in the development and implementation of our unique curriculum. Our curriculum utilizes innovative pedagogical techniques that emphasize active learning during our many diverse conferences, clinical experiences, and simulation scenarios. Although we make it a priority to provide an exceptional didactic experience, we realize that medicine must be learned at the bedside. The diversity of patients and the scope of pathophysiological disease processes that residents encounter on a daily basis are impressive. Our residency provides exceptional experiential learning in a wide variety of clinical environments where residents apply evidence-based medicine under the tutelage of world-renowned faculty. We pride ourselves on not only creating knowledgeable physicians, but also on instructing our residents on how to think critically and act as professionals. Here at Cooper we emphasize the importance of bedside diagnosis by facilitating the development of strong analytical clinical reasoning and physical examination skills. We develop within our residents the excellent communication skills needed to provide compassionate patient care, and to work successfully within an interdisciplinary team. Not only will you learn about the social determinates of health, but you will learn skills to promote the health and wellbeing of our patients.
