Research and scholarship are woven into your training here, not treated as an afterthought. You'll graduate with a record of real contributions to the field.
Scholarly activity prepares you for whatever comes next, whether that's a fellowship, a hospitalist role, or primary care. It deepens your understanding of research design, implementation, and interpretation, and builds the confidence to present your findings to peers. Our residents have been published in peer-reviewed journals and have presented at national and international conferences across a range of specialties. View the full list of projects and presentations.
You'll choose from a wide range of opportunities to fulfill your residency training requirements. Here's what's available.
You can submit an abstract, such as a clinical vignette, quality improvement project, or case report, to a regional or national conference, including the American College of Physicians (ACP).
Our residents have a strong acceptance rate for submitted abstracts. Second-year residents traditionally attend the ACP Ohio chapter's fall conference. First-year residents are encouraged to identify a compelling case to submit by the end of their first academic year.
Second- and third-year residents review and present a paper relevant to their specialty of interest, building a stronger understanding of biostatistics and the strengths and limitations of research.
Monday through Friday, all residents on the internal medicine team rotations attend morning report. Monday and Wednesday mornings feature presentations by overnight or daytime resident teams. Friday mornings are reserved for cardiology conference, where cardiologists and residents on cardiology rotations present relevant cases.
One Thursday morning each month, all residents participate in grand rounds. One or two second-year residents present an interesting case with a focus on differential diagnosis and evidence-based management.
Residents take part in formal academic lectures led by core faculty. The series covers 48 weeks of curriculum across every area of internal medicine.
You'll also have access to multidisciplinary research and active clinical trials through our research partners, including the Carl and Edyth Lindner Center for Research and Education, our Cancer Center, and the James Gamble research facility, which includes dedicated librarian access.
