Research Week 2020
Residents are required to complete at least one scholarly project during their three-year training period. Scholarly projects could involve basic research, clinical research, patient safety and quality, education projects, and much more. Research Week allows residents in their third year of training to showcase their scholarly projects online, where peers and faculty are able to make comments and give feedback. Below you can find the scholarly projects that have been done by the 2020 Senior Class.
