| Our program offers a wide range of research opportunties. This page details a number of options provdes advice on how to find a research supervisor and has a bibliography of resident publications. Research options 1. Elective time: You can simply use a month of your elective time to pursue a project or simply to get some exposure to what research is all about. This is the lowest maintenance option because no documentation is required and there is no expectation to produce anything, but it does use an elective you could use for out-of-town or other electives. 2. Dedicated research blocks: You can apply for 1-2 months of dedicated research in your PGY2 or 3 year. This requires a formal submission which will be reviewed by a committee. Although previous research experience is not necessary, it is essential that the proposal demonstrate scientific merit and the previous academic achievement of the applicant will be reviewed. It is expected that the supervisor(s) of the elective research project will strongly support the applicant and help to formulate a reasonable proposal taking into consideration the timeframe of the elective and specific needs and skills of the trainee. The research elective provides an opportunity for trainees to demonstrate scholarly activity in preparation for future application to the Eliot Phillipson Clinician-Scientist Training Program or other career development opportunities in research. It is expected that all residents granted a research elective will present at the appropriate hospital annual research day at the end of the academic year. In the 2006/07 academic year, we were able to support all of the applications(100%) for a total of 60 months out of 61 months requested (97%). 26 of the 28 (93%) who requested 2 months for 2006-07 were granted the full period. This compares to 83% in 2005/06. To find out how to apply, click here 3. PGY3 Academic half-day: PGY3s may also apply to have a half-day per week to pursue a research project. Further information can be found by going to the half-day page of the core program. 4. The Clinician Scientist program: If you are interested in completely immersing yourself in research, the Clinican Scientist program is for you. In this program you "step-out" of residency for up to three years to complete graduate research training. This program takes dedication and planning but is a great foundation to a career as a scientist. To find out more click here.
Resident Bibliography: While we do not mandate research involvement in our program,our residents are amazingly productive. Approximately 40% of residents will have a publication by the completion of their PGY3 year. To view a listing of resident publications since 2001, click here. Last updated:10/30/2008 3:44:23 PM
