Research

To complete the requirements of training, each fellow must perform an independent clinical research project under the supervision of a UF faculty member. Fellows are also free to select a suitable topic along with a faculty member. There are monthly research conferences to discuss the progress of these projects.

Every spring, a Residents Research Day is held, with residents and fellows from all disciplines presenting their work. An annual award for resident research is a reflection of the emphasis on research in our training programs.

Well-designed studies conducted in collaboration with the faculty have resulted in fellows presenting research at regional and national meetings and publishing the results of their scientific projects in peer-reviewed journals.
