Residency

Resident Research Exposure

Ongoing research is medicine's guarantee of continuing improvement of care and teaching residents to appreciate and deal successfully with the implications of research should be a prime objective of the residency program. It is difficult, yet extraordinarily important for residents to learn to set aside time to develop interest and skill in evaluating new information and in the process, broaden their understanding of the biological basis of the practice of medicine.

The department’s commitment to research for residents/faculty is demonstrated by the residency’s required six-month research rotation. The resident research activity during PGY-3 is a program requirement and is supported through Research and Education funds of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation. The extramural funding base of each lab and the faculty principal investigators also funds most, if not all, resident research. Residents are also encouraged to write extramural grant proposals for additional funding, particularly for continuation of an existing project. Each research lab also has technical support personnel who become involved in support of the resident’s research efforts under the guidance of the lab director.
