If a House Officer is unable to attend a Conference, they may view the Conference and take the on-line test by accessing the web site MyWebCT at https://www.curriculumii.mcg.edu/webct/public/home.pl. 2.5 The Program will devise its own curriculum, based upon the list of topics presented in the ACGME Institutional Requirements, and will require that each House Officer attend all of the lectures and/or conferences provided by the Program.
