Funding is available for resident research projects and travel expenses are paid to present resident research at meetings. A four-week period is allotted for each resident to work on a research project with a suitable mentor. Residents participate in an informal dinner research journal club meeting. Every other Friday morning there is a research seminar. Research presentations are made at the research seminar and recently published articles are discussed critically by the residents and faculty at the journal club meeting.
Many residents pursue research project opportunities during their clinical rotations.
