In the second year of training, each resident with a faculty mentor presents and discusses a case at Medical Grand Rounds. In the third year, each resident with assistance from a faculty member, presents an extensive review on a topic of his choice at Medical Grand Rounds.
Residents actively participate by submitting abstracts to regional and national scientific meetings.
Their efforts are supported by input from the department and the Research Institute. The Research Institute is led by a PHD medical biostatitician and research staff. They assist the resident in formulating a research question, structuring a project for the Institutional Review Board, providing awareness of potential grant proposals. They also assist in grant writing, statistical analysis and data gathering support. The residents also enjoy the full services of an in-house medical photography department who assist in slide and poster preparation.
