Internal Medicine Residency Program
Resident Research
Temple University is rapidly expanding its research base and Temple residents benefit from this dedication to research. Despite maintaining a busy schedule, most of Temple's residents engage in clinical or basic research. We have had numerous residents successfully participate in regional, national, and international competitions, with prize-winning results. Each resident is encouraged to engage in scholarly activity, ranging from an evidence-based review of an assigned topic to a longitudinal bench project. Research electives are offered, allowing residents to focus on a topic under supervision of a faculty mentor during an elective block.
This section contains information for residents interested in clinical investigation opportunities, as well as resources for those nearing the publication or presentation stage. Take a look at some of the resident accomplishments for the 2008-2009 year below, and find inspiration in the results our residents have achieved.
