The research component of our program was developed to ensure successful completion of a scholarly project by residents over the three core years of Pediatric residency. A research mentorship program is in place for incoming PGY-1s. Residents have access to facilities, funds and faculty supervisors with expertise in basic, clinical and translational research, medical education and health administration. Research methodology, an annual Research Proposal Day and an annual Pediatric Research Day are incorporated in our core curriculum. It is an expectation that at least one publication or abstract presentation will be completed during residency.
