Resident Project

Purpose
To outline the residency project requirements.
 
Responsibilities
During your three years in the residency program, it is expected that you will complete a minimum of at least one resident project. This may involve an educational, EMS or research project which will be of a quality that it could be published or presented at a major state or regional conference. The project needs to be approved by the Resident Project Committee before starting. You should utilize your faculty advisor, The Resient Project Committee chair (currently Dr. Zwank) and other faculty members to select or develop an appropriate research project/presentation and for guidance in its development and execution as early in your residency as possible.
 
Suggested Resident Project Timeline:
  • Ideas of topic interests complete by first year 6-month evaluation
  • Project proposal approved by the end of the 1st year
  • Execute project during 2nd year and first half of third year
  • Identify meeting for presentation or publication plans by end of second year
  • Draft of "product" (poster, abstract, manuscript, chapter, etc.) complete by halfway point of third year
  • Finalize project (present at meetings, finalize publications) during second half of third year

Procedures
 
Guidelines for resident project selection:
 
  1. Residents will need to select a content area to work on their project by the end of their first year.
  2. Priority for any content area will be given to a resident who is interested in completing a research project in the content area regardless of whether they wish to be involved in other activities in the content area.
  3. All projects require approval by the Resident Project Committee in order for the resident to receive credit for the project. Committee approval should be obtained early and will require submission of the Resident Project Update form to the committee.
  4. Contacts for specific content areas can be found on the Clinical and Research Interests page of the website.
  5. Generally, no more than 3-4 residents per year can be in a single content area. We believe the experience will be diluted with greater number of residents.
