Our didactic activities are essential for the training and development of safe, competent surgeons. - **Morbidity and Mortality (M&M) Conferences** — These conferences occur weekly over the five years of the surgery residency program. M&M Conferences are an opportunity for residents and faculty to regularly discuss practice improvement and how to mitigate and address medical errors. Residents will present Morbidity and Mortality cases each year, with guidance from a faculty member. - **Basic Science Conference** — On a weekly basis, faculty will present basic science conferences with support from senior and chief residents. - **Clinical Conference** — Our clinical conferences are held weekly. This educational curriculum is based on the [Surgical Council on Resident Education (SCORE)](https://www.surgicalcore.org/), which closely aligns with the [ABSITE](https://www.absurgery.org/get-certified/for-programs/in-training-exams/) and [General Surgery Qualifying Exam](https://www.absurgery.org/get-certified/general-surgery/qualifying-exam/). We provide each resident with a SCORE subscription and a [TrueLearn](https://truelearn.com/) question bank subscription to ensure access to study aids for the best possible exam outcomes. - **Grand Rounds** — Each month, fifth-year residents are required to present a topic of interest, educating fellow residents, attending physicians, medical students and others in attendance. - **Journal Club** — Held monthly, journal club sessions allow residents to present a recent scholarly article and guide a larger discussion between fellow residents and faculty. - **Simulation Lab** — Residents will use our newly designed simulation lab, outfitted with state-of-the-art training equipment. Simulation lab training will occur twice monthly until graduation from residency. Residents have 24/7 access to our sim equipment for continuous skill improvement. ### Living in Roseville Live at the base of the Sierra Nevada foothills, where the sun shines 340 days a year.
