Resident Research
Resident research is a priority in our residency, as we want to support and promote the academic career growth of every resident. Being involved in research builds skills in methodology, analysis, writing and presenting that are valued skills in academic medicine. More fundamentally, research reflects curiosity and hones critical thinking that we really want to foster.
With this emphasis on the value of research, we offer many opportunities for growth.
Research Rotation Elective
Residents have the option of one to two 4 week research blocks during their PGY2 with an optional block during PGY3, totaling 3 blocks over their senior years.
Conference Travel
As a reward for research success and an incentive for research productivity, residents that have a first author abstract accepted at regional, national or international conferences, are supported with up to $1,500 dollars for registration and travel. This fund has been a huge benefit to the residency allowing residents to travel the country and the world to share their clinical and scientific findings!
Resident Research Day
The Department of Medicine Resident Research Day was founded by Dr. Lewis Landsberg in 1990. Each year, 30-40 senior residents present their research in basic science, quality/safety and clinical research. The event includes many faculty mentors and judging to promote academic skills in abstract presentations. See our most recent research program to see the diversity of resident’s research projects.
