Many residents express an interest in investigating research careers during their residency. At OSU, residents are encouraged to consider participating in research during their elective months.

All interns are assigned a month during their internship year to work on a scholarly project (the Career Development Month).This allows the residents anticipating a search for a fellowship in a highly competitive field like cardiology or gastroenterology to have a project in progress at the time of their fellowship interviews. It also allows residents the opportunity to try research early in their residency career.

Although a month is not a very long time, our residents have been very successful in participating in substantial projects because of the appropriate selection of mentors and projects. Current residents have worked with clinical, basic science, quality improvement and education researchers in Oncology, Hematology, Cardiology, Infectious Diseases, Pulmonary, Endocrinology and General Internal Medicine. A listing of recently presented abstracts and where they were presented is included below:

Discovery, opportunity and collaboration underscore the research efforts in the Department of Internal Medicine. The new Medical Genetics Program within the Division of Human Genetics, includes faculty who have begun to explore cardiovascular disease genetics in concert with researchers at OSU’s Dorothy M. Davis Heart and Lung Research Institute and clinicians at the Richard M. Ross Heart Hospital. The newly established Center for Microbial Interface Biology in the Division of Infectious Diseases, links investigators campuswide in pathogenesis and bioterrorism research.

These endeavors--characterized by their collaborative and multidisciplinary nature--are just a sample of the Department’s expansive basic and clinical research efforts. Together they reflect the advancement of knowledge through research, an integral part of the mission of the OSU College of Medicine.

The department also collaborates with the OSU College of Public Health to sponsor a one year Masters Degree program in clinical trials. This is an ideal way to spend a “gap year” (year between residency and fellowship) that will enhance their ability to pursue a successful career in clinical investigation.
