Scholarly Activity

We support residents in pursuing scholarly projects over the course of their residency training. Our resident scholarly activity committee can assist residents with finding projects and mentors in their area of interest. Residents are encouraged to present their projects at national meetings and receive departmental financial support for meeting expenses and travel. Recent resident projects are listed below.
