Ideal Resident Candidate<\/h2>\n

The ideal candidate for application is a categorical intern who is interested in a career or post residency training that requires practical knowledge in research design, data management, good clinical practices, research ethics, data collection and analysis, basic statistical analysis, abstract preparation, academic presentation skills and manuscript writing.<\/p>\n

Description of the Track<\/h2>\n

This track is designed for Internal medicine Residents who are dedicated to learning and performing significant research during their Internal Medicine Residency. The track is designed to teach the fundamentals of research and provides the structure needed to be successful in completing a robust project during your residency. Participation in the track is completely voluntary and will require extra time and dedication to research-related activities outside of the standard rotation schedule.<\/p>\n

The track will start January of the PGY1 year and proceed until January of the PGY3 year. PGY1 categorical interns interested in the track will apply in early January of their PGY1 year. Applications will be reviewed by program leadership. Active participation in the track is required to remain in the program.\u00a0 Interns entering the track will learn basic principles of research during the first six months, through scheduled monthly didactics and independent learning modules. The in-person sessions will occur on the second Wednesday of the month from noon to 1:00 PM and in-person attendance is required unless on a rotation that does not allow for you to attend. If needed, we will attempt to identify a faculty mentor for your project, but this may be limited and not a guarantee of this track. Participants will then complete data collection during the first four months of their PGY-2; a dedicated research elective during this time is highly encouraged. After data collection, in-person didactic sessions will resume with the focus on abstract preparation, presentation skills, receiving and providing feedback, and manuscript writing. The goal of this track is to have a completed research project, designed and implemented by the resident with the assistance of the faculty and their individual research mentors, by the completion of their residency.<\/p>\n
