Resident Research
Clinical research is a supported and important activity at our
medical center. We now offer a research course through the Division
of Research (the largest non-University based epidemiology research
group in the country). This course prepares residents in aspects
of clinical research from grant writing to statistical and publishing
techniques
We are located near the Kaiser Division of Research (http://www.dor.kaiser.org/)
and have on site mentors available. Our residents may complete a
clinical research project or other scholarly pursuit during their
residency. Four-week research blocks are available each year. Residents
present case reports and research at the American College of Physicians
(ACP) Regional conference as well as at various National sub-specialty
conferences. We financially support our residents presenting at
conferences.
