Residents receive close supervision by their preceptor throughout all phases of the research project and have research design and statistical support. All residents are encouraged to present their work at the spring meeting of the Maryland chapter of the American College of Physicians. For the past few years, numerous residents presented their clinical and basic science research and clinical vignettes through poster and oral presentations at this meeting. Several of these presentations were honored with awards at the meeting, with one of our residents winning first place as the best clinical vignette. This pathway leads to certification in internal medicine after two years of clinical training plus at least two years of research in the setting of a subspecialty fellowship.
Special requirements apply to each of the subspecialties.
See the ABIM requirements for this pathway for more information. This information is not intended to be a substitute for individual medical advice in diagnosing or treating a health problem. Please consult with your health care provider about your health care concerns.
