Research for Residents

Residents are required to complete a QI project and one scholarly activity during their training. There is a designated Patient Safety and QI Chief, who is able to assist residents with research. UTHSC has numerous opportunities to connect with general internal medicine and subspecialty faculty mentors to perform both clinical and bench research. Residents can request protected time for a research elective during the PGY-2 or PGY-3 years of their clinical training.
