Research and Scholarship

Whether your interest is in clinical, basic science, translational or medical education research, we offer you a wide range of expertise and project opportunities with distinguished, experienced faculty. In your second and third years, you may take up to three-months of cumulative research electives to design and carry out independent work. We offer robust support and provide opportunities for you to collaborate with librarians and statisticians. 

Some residents carry an independent project to publication or presentation at national meetings, while others get involved with larger, ongoing research at our school. These opportunities give you a competitive edge when you apply for fellowships or continue on into an academic career.

We support our residents’ participation in the American College of Physicians’ statewide poster session, held each fall, and in the poster session at our annual Jacob's School Research Day.

Throughout the year, resident research presentations give you the opportunity to present your work to your peers and a group of experienced faculty. The feedback you receive during these presentations is valuable to the further development of your project.
