Research and Faculty
Producing clinical evidence from research enables us to discover better ways to care for our patients. To stimulate an appreciation of the research process among our residents, they are required to complete a research project under faculty mentorship prior to graduation.
Here are the steps to follow for development and completion of your project:
- In your PGY-1 year, choose a general area of interest and find a faculty advisor for the project
- Present a research proposal at an Emergency Department Research Conference
- With guidance from your advisor, develop and present a written proposal to the Emergency Medicine Research Committee (EMRC) and the Research Subjects Review Board (RSRB)
- Collect and analyze the data
- Prepare a slide presentation
- At the end of their PGY-3, formally present your project at the Annual EM Residency Research Conference.
All residents are encouraged to submit their research for publication in a peer-reviewed journal and/or present the work at a national conference.
