Research

To complete the requirements of training, each fellow must perform an independent clinical research project under the supervision of a UFCOM-J 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, Annual 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.
