Beginning with the 2009/2010 monthly meeting schedule, COS initiated a series of case presentations & discussions featuring residents from the various training programs in Chicago. This addition to the program has resulted in an interesting educational element for the evening and has been well-received by the membership.

Criteria for resident presentations at the monthly COS meetings
Time: Presentations by the resident should be no longer than 5 minutes. The patient or case should be presented with all relevant information. It is not necessary to go into a detailed explanation about the diagnosis or management. The expert panel will have a 5-10 minute question & answer period when the diagnosis and management will be discussed further.
Expert Panel: The panel consists of the invited speaker and a fellowship trained specialist in the area of interest from each of the training programs assigned to present.
Content: All presentations should be in PowerPoint format. It is suggested that an attending physician review the presentation with the resident to assure the time is kept to 5 minutes and that the content is correct.
Set-Up: The resident can either email the presentation to Rich Paul before the day of the presentation or arrive 30 minutes prior to the start of the meeting to upload the presentation. It is the resident's responsibility to assure that his/her presentation is in a format compatible with the available equipment.
