I’m interested in doing some research during residency. Are there any opportunities?
A. There are ample opportunities to do research. The hospital has close to 200 multi-centered trials going on at any one time in just about every area of medicine. In addition, close to 20 resident research projects are ongoing, in areas from therapeutic trials to diagnostic testing to computers and clinical decision-making. We routinely publish in major medical journals and present at National meetings. While major funded projects (NIH, etc.) are available, the St. Vincent Foundation provides ample financial support to residents interested in undertaking their own projects. The residency program provides support with research design, project management and biostatistical analysis. Lab space has been arranged for residents with particular expertise and interest.
