Teaching and Research Opportunities

Teaching and Research Opportunities 

Research opportunities: The residents actively participate in clinical research by taking part in multiple projects currently underway in the department. In fact, more than half of our residents regularly have posters and oral presentations accepted for presentation at national pathology meetings (USCAP, CAP, ASFA, AABB and others). For those interested in basic research there is an opportunity to take 6 months in 1 block as research elective and spend this time in basic research lab working on the project under supervision of research faculty of the department. 

Teaching opportunity: There are multiple opportunities to be involved in teaching of medical students and other healthcare trainees through participating and leading small group decisions and one on one teaching when trainees rotate through the department of pathology. There are also multiple opportunities for peer-to-peer teaching as well. For those who are more interested in more formal graduate course in education, our residency program participates in institutional initiative to develop next generation of graduate medical educators - Health Educators and Academic Leaders (HEAL) (please insert the link once we obtain it here). The participation in the program is free of charge for residents.
