Residents are exposed to
research opportunities throughout their training. In addition to
formal core curriculum lectures, journal club and literature
reviews allow residents to critically review a wide variety of
research methodologies. The Program has a full time Research
Director responsible for developing and implementing research
projects. During their first year, a resident is expected to begin
to focus on a research project. By graduation, each resident
should expect to produce at least one paper for submission to a
peer-reviewed journal.
