Below I will paste the our resident weakly conference schedule for last week. There are many education conference in the department. Some of the conferences are required for all residents. In other words the residents must attend. Some of conferences are elective for residents. Residents can attend if they have time or interested. In fact no residents can join in all the conference because they have their own work duty. It is the similar for every week. It is similar for all uviversities with resident programs. It can be more or less depending the size of the universities or programs. So you know residents in the US do not need to study online.
