Resident Research - Project Timeline

Each resident is involved in a research project.  This begins with the designation of a faculty advisor and project in the EM-1 year.  During the EM-2 year, the project is further developed and instituted.  Over the course of the program, residents are provided protected time to complete their research endeavors.  The project is expected to result in a publishable and presentable paper at the end of the EM-3 year.  The depth and quality of such presentations are creditable with all being presented at Residents’ Research Day in June.  Some projects go on to national presentation and publication.
