Clinical Research

The goal of the Clinical Research Scholarly Concentration is to give practical experience to residents so they have the tools to understand and engage in clinical research. Required seminars are designed to introduce residents to the critical concepts that underpin clinical research. Residents also conduct faculty-mentored, hypothesis-driven clinical research projects. These projects may be descriptive, observational, or interventional in design.
