Resident Research

Research in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin is both nationally and locally funded.  Our Research Director, E. Brooke Lerner, holds a PhD in Epidemiology and a is nationally recognized EMS researcher. We also have a Research Coordinator to assist with research related activities, and physician faculty who are leading national researchers with projects specializing in injury, cardiac arrest, and EMS.

Each resident is expected to complete a scholarly activity research project prior to graduation, and we have numerous resources to assist with this requirement. 

The residency research project requirements include:

• Oral presentation at the Department's Annual Research Forum
• Develop a manuscript of publishable quality
• The Research Director, Residency Program Director, and the resident's research mentor must approve the final manuscript
