What research opportunities are available to residents?
Residents may choose to engage in basic, translational or clinical research depending on the level of their interest, research background, and time availability. Research is encouraged but not required. Most residents end up working on at least one project which forms the basis for a “senior year talk”. Many residents also present at the USCAP meeting each year. Recent residents and fellows have won prestigious awards at the USCAP meeting including the Stowell-Orbison award, the Gastrointestinal Pathology Society award and the Society for Cardiovascular Pathology award. Many faculty members also have leadership roles within USCAP, such as Dr. Ricardo Lloyd and Dr. Jeffrey Myers. For those who wish to have extended time for research during residency, a Clinician-Investigator Training Program and a Clinical Research Training Program are available.
