Please feel free to use these modules to enhance your program's teaching objectives and to help meet the required ACGME competencies. The faculty who developed these modules can be scheduled to teach selected conferences. You can reach them at the email or phone number listed below. Since the modules are self contained, you can also teach the modules yourself right off this website, or use the material for self study. Citations for recommended readings are provided for non-University of Rochester users; faculty, students and staff at the University of Rochester Medical Center can obtain the readings electronically through direct links to Miner Library.

We want to express our thanks to the Nathan Cummings Foundation and the Mannix Foundation for their support in the development of these modules.
