Scholarly Activities by our Med-Peds Residents
The Internal Medicine-Pediatrics Residency Program at the Medical College of Wisconsin encourages residents to pursue clinical research opportunities. Scholarship provides residents many potential benefits including: exploration of an academic career, development of credentials to bolster their fellowship application, and nurturing intellectual curiosity.
All residents are encouraged and given financial support to present their scholarly projects at a variety of regional and national meetings. In addition, the Medical College of Wisconsin was recently awarded a $20 million NIH Grant to support The Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) of Southeastern Wisconsin. The CTSI supports, through pilot funding, new and promising clinical and translational projects for young investigators.
In addition to hosting the National Med-Peds Residents' Association Midwest Regional Med-Peds Conference in November, 2009, listed below are recent scholarly works by MCW Med-Peds Residents.
