Scholarship That Fits Your Goals

Scholarly activity is required, but it is not one-size-fits-all. Residents build an individualized scholarly plan aligned with their career goals, supported by research coordinators, biostatisticians, faculty mentors, and a broader hospital network.

Scholarly work is organized around a simple principle: residents should have access to real infrastructure, meaningful data, and enough flexibility to pursue work that fits their interests.

01

Support From Idea to Dissemination

Protected Wellness Time

Two protected wellness days each year create dedicated time away from clinical duties to reconnect with your residency community and enjoy life outside the hospital.

Resident-Led Scheduling

Residents participate directly in scheduling, with protection for conference, golden weekends, and important personal or family events whenever possible.

02

Data & Study Opportunities

Enterprise Data

Access to enterprise-wide hospitalization and emergency-department data creates opportunities to ask clinically meaningful questions at scale.

Prospective & Traditional Research

Prospective studies are actively enrolling in the department, and the program supports residents who want to develop new traditional research projects.

03

Resident-Driven Scholarship

Individualized Scholarly Activity

Scholarly requirements can take different forms depending on a resident's goals. Faculty work with each resident to build an individualized plan rather than forcing every learner into the same type of project.

Current Project Topics

Current work includes ultrasound-guided hip blocks, headache treatment, resident fatigue related to administrative duties, and additional resident-driven projects.
