The Department of Pediatrics is committed to becoming a premier institution for clinical research dedicated to child health. Our areas of particular interest include pediatric respiratory disease, pediatric infectious disease, pediatric trauma, and clinical epidemiology. We have also initiated several clinical research projects related to child safety, pediatric asthma, adolescent psychiatry, pediatric dentistry, and developmental and behavioral pediatrics. The Pediatric Residency Research Program offers monthly Research Seminars (focused on principles of epidemiology and methodology), a monthly Journal Club, and faculty mentoring of resident initiated research projects.
The success of the Pediatric Residency Research Program is clearly reflected in the number of presentations of resident directed research by our residents at regional and national pediatric scientific meetings as well as by the enthusiasm of fellowship directors who appreciate the level of clinical research experience our residents bring to their fellowships. These accomplishments have clearly made an impact with fellowship directors as well as primary care recruiters regarding the acceptance of our residents into competitive ambulatory positions as well as top programs for advanced fellowship training. A representative sample of research projects is noted below:
