Research Opportunities

For the first 12 months fellow will be actively involved in research. A thesis in the area of research the fellow has chosen will be required by the end of their first year as well as a first name publication by the end of the fellowship. The overall goal of our research curriculum is not only research publication but also a comprehensive understanding of research design, analysis and application. Clinical research can be completed in this time but sufficient time must be dedicated to understanding bench research as it relates to clinical care. Clinical research is encouraged and fellows submit annually to national meetings.

Fellows have access to the BERD clinic for statistical support and the RedCap database management system. Residents and medical students are actively involved with clinical research in our department.
