Residency Program

Research

Residents in our program are required to complete a research project prior to graduation. The research elective is specifically tailored to the resident's needs and expressed areas of interest. Basic science research, clinical research, or a literature review can fulfill the research requirement. The project may be in the form of a review article, small case series, case report, or original research.

Faculty preceptors are assigned to each resident and provide guidance and assistance in developing the research project.
