Internal Medicine Residency Scholarly Activities
Becoming the Next Generation of Internal Medicine Physicians
As an Internal Medicine resident at The Christ Hospital, you will join the next generation of physician who not only provide patient care but also develop new treatments and therapies through clinical research and other scholarly activities.
Each internal medicine resident will participate in scholarly activity to meet residency training requirements, choosing from a wide range of opportunities.
Why Scholarly Activities Are Important
Scholarly activities help prepare you for a successful career, whether in pursuit of fellowship, primary care, or hospitalist roles. They enhance your knowledge and understanding as well as instill confidence in your clinical specialty and research methodology. This includes research design, implementation and interpretation, and presentation of results.
Our residents have successfully published research in peer-reviewed journals and have presented at national and international conferences for a range of specialties. See the full list of projects and presentations.
Scholarly Activities Opportunities
You will participate in various scholarly activities including:
1. Project Abstracts
An abstract such as clinical vignettes, quality improvement projects or case reports can be submitted to a regional or national conference such as American College of Physicians.
