Research
All categorical surgical residents are required to participate in at least one research project that leads to a publication in a peer-reviewed article journal. There are several opportunities for residents to become involved with faculty clinical research projects on the Jacksonville campus. Residents interested in basic science research can work with a faculty member to locate opportunities at the UF campus in Gainesville or elsewhere in the country. Most residents take their research year between their second and third year of residency training. Residents in the past have taken one to three years for research.
