Our residents have access to dedicated faculty research mentors with specific expertise in research methodology and complementary biostatistical support through departmental funds. This ensures that every resident has the guidance and resources needed to succeed in their research endeavors.

Residents are expected to complete a research project by the end of their PGY-4 year. Early in the PGY-3 year, residents identify a research project and assemble a team of faculty mentors, including a dedicated mentor, to refine and critique the project from inception to execution. Our research opportunities span translational, clinical, medical education, and quality improvement initiatives, allowing residents to pursue their specific interests.

Residents are also incorporated into the quality and safety committees of the Department of Neurology, which often leads to additional scholarly work in quality improvement. We encourage our residents to submit their research for presentation at national meetings, and departmental funding is available to support travel costs for those whose projects are accepted. The submission of these research projects is celebrated and encouraged within our program, reflecting a commitment to scholarly achievement.

The culmination of each resident's research project is formally presented at the end of the PGY-4 year to a panel of neurology faculty, with a prize awarded to the best project of each graduating class. We are committed to helping you succeed and look forward to supporting your growth as a researcher and clinician.
