Research and Scholarly Activities

A Community of Scholars: Advancing Medicine Through Research

At our core, we foster a vibrant culture of inquiry. We provide robust, multi-faceted support for resident-led research and scholarly activity, empowering you to contribute to the future of medicine.

Comprehensive Research Support

• Dedicated Research Committee: Comprised of driven residents and expert faculty, this committee provides personalized mentorship at every stage of your project, from initial concept to publication. The committee also publishes the quarterly "Night Float" newsletter to highlight recent publications and share reminders for upcoming conference abstract deadlines.
• Institutional Resources: You will have access to a dedicated Institutional Review Board (IRB) department, a vast database of articles through our affiliated medical school, and complimentary biostatistical support for data analysis.
