Residents are divided into teams with a resident from each PGY level. Each team has a research topic, a PGY-4 team leader, and faculty mentors. Teams meet regularly and each resident on a team has required responsibilities for research during the year. All 3rd year residents are required to present their team research at the annual Research Day in the spring of each academic year. It is also expected that the project will be summarized in a report suitable for publication. Presentation of research projects at regional and national meetings is highly encouraged. Current research topics include: Obstetrical Ultrasound, Diabetes in Pregnancy, Urogynecology, Surgical Techniques and Advances in Resident Research Education.
