Virtua Program
About This Program
Residents are provided 5 hours of mixed virtual and off-site protected education time weekly. Wednesday mornings are education mornings and include didactics, Jeopardy! style review sessions, and structured edoscopy and laparoscopy simulation every week. We are hoping to add robotics simulation at the same site in the near future. Robotic simulation is already offered at all Virtua hospitals. Grand Rounds, additional skills labs, and mock oral preparation each occurs twice a month.
