Research Program & Scholarly Projects

Each categorical internal medicine resident completes a research project and presents it during their third year at Medical Grand Rounds. Projects may include, but are not limited to:

  • Clinical or basic science research
  • A de novo literature or systematic review
  • A newly designed clinical pathway/workflow
  • Systems-level performance or quality improvement

Although publication is not required, many projects are ultimately published or presented at regional, national and international meetings.

Explore some of our residents’ recent research projects, publications and presentations below.
