When I was looking for a residency program it was very important to me to find a program that supported research and those interested in academic primary care. In my opinion, one of the greatest strengths of our program is the support we have to pursue research. We not only can have dedicated research months, which are helpful if you need to write up a paper or get a project off the ground, but we also have dedicated time during our clinic months for research. This continuity has been key for me to be able to keep projects going and have time to respond to paper reviews or do other tasks that often come in over time. Our campus is also so collaborative which allows for some really unique and exciting research to be done. I work in the field of elder abuse and family violence and am lucky to have mentors across campus from our Child Abuse pediatricians to our emergency medicine physicians and forensic nurses. We are also lucky to have so many primary care internists who do research who are very willing to discuss the career side of research which has been very helpful in my plans for fellowship and joining an academic division.
