The Internal Medicine Residency offers nationally recognized and funded basic science and clinical research opportunities through the many subspecialty divisions in the Department of Medicine and elsewhere. Residents collaborate with co-residents, fellows, and faculty research mentors in research in the specialty or primary care area of their choice. Resident research has led to publications in peer-reviewed journals as well as presentations both locally and at national conferences.

A series of research workshops for residents include topics such as critical appraisal of the literature, statistics, and study design, which residents then apply to their own research projects, as well as during journal clubs, morning reports, and other conferences.

Postgraduate Year 1

Within the first two months of postgraduate year one, or PGY-1, the residency program director and chief residents meet with interns one-on-one to introduce opportunities for resident research and help the resident select a faculty mentor in their specialty of interest.

Throughout the year, interns participate in professional career development counseling. This includes specialty-specific advising and scholarly research mentoring, to help identify scholarly interests and connect with mentors and principal investigators.

Postgraduate Years 2 and 3

During postgraduate year two (PGY-2), residents participate in workshops to learn the basics of research methodology and develop the skills necessary to complete a research project within the time constraints of a resident’s schedule and review topics such as research design, subjects and sampling, hypothesis testing, and data presentation.

Residents pursue research projects with attending physicians, mentors, fellows, peers, and medical students from NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine. Residents can also pursue additional avenues for scholarly work during their PGY-2 year in Quality Improvement and Patient Safety (QIPS). Residents also have the opportunity to take on leadership roles on the Hospital Quality Council.

During PGY-3, residents continue their scholarly activities either through dedicated research blocks or as a longitudinal project. Many of the residents present their research projects at regional and national meetings and at the school’s Research Day.

Career Development

Our faculty are committed to helping each resident foster their individual interests to best help them on their journey to becoming the best physician they can be. Our residents have successfully pursued careers in all major subsets of internal medicine. As the table below shows, residents have matched into fellowships of their choosing, at NYU Langone and beyond.
