Clinic Conference Schedule
Martin Luther King Clinic

Residents and faculty attend and participate in a twenty-minute conference covering primary care topics of both disciplines. Conferences begin at 8 a.m. for morning clinics and 1 p.m. for afternoon clinics. The schedule will indicate the topic to be discussed for that week. Articles pertaining to the weekly topic have been distributed to each resident ahead of time. Full text for the articles can also be accessed online via the Texas Medical Library website from any computer on the Medical Center campus.

For home access, you will need to set up access through Baylor's proxy server. This requires ownership of a Texas Medical Library card and Baylor e-mail account. See the instructions on setting up a proxy connection from home. When prompted for user name and password by the proxy server, enter your Baylor e-mail user name and password.

In order for each resident to obtain a uniform conference experience, the same topic will be covered during each conference session for that week.

Topics with a PowerPoint symbol next to them indicate the presentation can be downloaded from any computer. The file will be in PowerPoint show format which will allow for viewing, but cannot be edited. If you are having trouble opening the file, then please download the file first.
