Research Requirement - Scholarly Tracks

Emergency Medicine Residents are required by the Residency Review Committee to participate in academic activity during their residency. In addition to attendance at and participation in weekly study sessions, Grand Rounds and Journal Club, residents must complete a scholarly project.

Every resident may not have an interest in completing an original research project, which is why our program has developed 6 unique areas of expertise residents can choose to focus on, each with their own set of requirements for successful completion. The Research Director in conjunction with the Program Director will determine if the requirement is fulfilled. Residents should seek feedback from the Research Director on their progress toward meeting the requirement on a regular basis.

Residents will individually benefit in terms of learning real life skills for their career beyond what we teach them clinically, and the activities they undertake should extend throughout residency.

All residents will participate in a one-hour monthly meeting with their faculty advisor prior to Grand Rounds.  This meeting may include applicable reading with discussion, didactics, or evaluation of their progress .

"The volume and range of pathology is excellent in our training for Medicine and Trauma. While interviewing, I was especially attracted to the program for the scholarly tracks. The tracks especially give you a chance to focus your research interests and get involved with the Buffalo community." Michael Mann, MD, Class of 2009
