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. There are monthly research conferences to discuss the progress of these projects.

Annual Dean’s Fund Research Awards support resident and fellow scholarly activity. Every spring, a 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 give the fellows opportunities to present at regional and national meetings and to publish the results of their scientific projects in peer-reviewed journals.
