At the Family Medicine Center, residents participate in a variety of scholarly activities facilitated by the faculty and staff at Memorial University Medical Center. Residents must choose a topic of interest and conduct a research related project under the supervision of the faculty.
Current research activities include: The Georgia/Texas “Improving Brief Intervention” project to aid in the identification of patients at risk for alcoholism. A project in the advanced planning stage is a Quality Improvement Project, the evaluative pneumococcal vaccination in diabetics.
Residents are required each year to present a journal article of clinical relevance to primary care. Residents are required to complete and present a case report as a PGY-3.
Our mission is to promote research education, train residents to publish their scholarly achievements, and be proficient in the principles and practice of evidenced-based medicine.
