Our residency requires completion of a Help Desk Answer in the R1 year AND two scholarly projects one of which must be a quality improvement (QI) project. The QI project usually done in the R3 year.
The ACGME requires all Family Medicine Residents to complete two scholarship projects, one of which must be a Quality Improvement project. The definition of scholarship is broad and may include the scholarship of discovery, teaching, application or integration, such as:
- Research
- Resolutions
- Curriculum development
- Case studies and literature reviews
- Quality Improvement
- Letters to the editor
- Op-ed
- Patient education materials
Residents interested in research entering their intern year are encouraged to apply to the longitudinal Research Track. Residents who may stumble upon a research interest mid-way through their residency experience can also complete an area of concentration (AOC) in Scholarship & Research.
