Research Opportunities for Students, Residents and Fellows

Trainees have opportunities to conduct research with faculty members like Jamal B. Williams, PhD, who studies psychiatric genetics. He works to unravel the complex genetic underpinnings of neurodevelopmental disorders.

Research skills form a key component of a successful, responsive clinical practice, as well as founding your academic career.

Participating in research as a student, resident or fellow gives you opportunities to extend the frontiers of knowledge and work toward improving the standards for patient care in our area and around the world. It also hones critical thinking, data collection and analysis, interpretation and presentation skills.

As a resident or fellow, you’ll design and carry out your own independent research under the guidance of one of our highly accomplished faculty. As a medical student, you can take an elective to work as a member of a faculty research team on a project of your choice.
