As part of improving patient care and professional development, all residents in the Family Medicine Residency Program acquire the ability to:

• Investigate and evaluate their care of patients.
• Appraise and incorporate scientific evidence into their practice.
• Continually learn throughout their medical career.

Residents learn the basic principles of research including how clinical research is conducted, evaluated, explained and applied to patient care. As part of their training, residents actively participate in scholarly activities - completing a quality improvement project, presenting at Grand Rounds, and engaging in additional research or academic initiatives that enhance their clinical and professional development. Over the years, several residents have won awards for their scholarly work.
