The program values the input of the residents to shape the curriculum.  We work to have engaging didactics rather than just having a lecturer go through power point slides for an hour. During the height of the pandemic, 100% of our didactics were virtual. In 2022, we returned to much needed face time. We now have a hybrid system in which our didactics are in person at Harbor UCLA Medical Center but we have our residents at the other sites zoom in.
