Research Program & Scholarly Projects

Each internal medical resident completes a scholarly project and presents it at the end of third year, traditionally at medical grand rounds. Such projects may include (but are not limited to):

  • Literature review
  • Clinical or basic science research project
  • A de novo literature review suitable for publication
  • Newly designed clinical pathway
  • Hospital/clinical system improvement project

Although publication is not required, many projects result in publication and/or presentation at regional, national and international meetings.
