Traditional Internal Medicine Residency Training Program
Yale Internal Medicine Program for Research in Residency
Return to Research-in-Residency Programs
The specific mission of the Research in Residency Program is to provide the opportunity and oversight for Yale Internal Medicine Residents to pursue a research project during residency. It is the strong opinion of the Department that having this opportunity will enhance the critical thinking skills of the resident as a bedside clinician.
The overall goals of the Research in Residency Program are:
- to facilitate scholarly thinking, creativity, and appreciation of the excitement in creating new knowledge in medicine at an early stage in clinical training
- to broaden the scholarly sophistication of other elements of the program (i.e., morning report, peer teaching, work rounds)
- to build a new element of academic comraderie among housestaff that will enhance and distinguish the program nationally
All residents are eligible for the program and pursue a hypothesis driven research project during 3 elective months in their PGY-2/PGY-3 years. All participating residents present the results of their research, in either poster or slide presentation format, at the end of their PGY-3 year at an Annual Research in Residency Day Symposium held each May. Between 10-14 residents currently present their completed research projects each year.
Below are some examples of the abstracts our residents have presented.
