Non-Master’s Students

Residents assume responsibility for a research investigation so as to become familiar with the scientific method and principles of valid clinical research. All projects are designed for presentation and publication and the resident participates in the formulation of the manuscript for submission.

As part of this effort, residents and faculty participate in research seminars that promote logical and critical scientific thought. Facilities for clinical and basic science research are available to all residents.
