Faculty at NYU Langone Hospital—Suffolk strongly believe that advancing resident scholarship is a core component of our internal medicine residency program.

To accomplish this goal, house staff are required to complete a scholarly project during their training. This project may take the form of original research, a quality improvement project, a case report or series, or a formal presentation at a local, regional, or national conference. Presentations at outside conferences are supported financially by the institution.

As part of NYU Langone Health, our internal medicine residency is able to further advance our residents’ scholarly productivity. Our electronic medical record, Epic, facilitates data collection, and the NYU Health Sciences Library  is a valuable asset for residents conducting research. In addition, access to large health system databases allows residents to extract data from a substantial pool of patients. Finally, the NYU Langone Institutional Review Board guides residents in their project development.

To highlight the academic accomplishments of our residents, NYU Langone Hospital—Suffolk hosts an annual Research and Quality Improvement Fair, where house staff present their work in the form of posters and oral presentations. Abstracts are reviewed by faculty who select outstanding projects in the areas of original research and quality improvement to be podium presentations. In addition, top posters for resident research and quality improvement projects are recognized at the conclusion of the fair. These projects are added to resident portfolios so that they can be highlighted as career accomplishments.

To facilitate the completion of scholarly projects, residents receive protected time for research and quality improvement during “plus one” ambulatory weeks and quality and safety rotations in their first and third years of training. In addition, the program has a monthly research meeting where ongoing projects are discussed. Faculty also are given protected time to participate in and oversee research and quality improvement projects in both the inpatient and outpatient setting. Our performance improvement department aids with research by providing support for statistical analysis and study design.

Residents also have access to a variety of online resources, such as the Institute for Healthcare Improvement modules on quality improvement. These modules augment resident understanding of quality improvement methodology. This complements their hands-on experiences in the clinical setting. where they work on quality improvement projects based on the collective priorities of the institution. In addition, residents receive a lecture series on research methodology, the research process, and evidence-based medicine during their noon conference series. These lectures complement the Journal Club and evidence-based medicine conference series throughout the year.

Our residents have published their research in journals such as Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives, Annals of Internal Medicine Clinical Cases, and the American Journal of Case Reports. They have also presented their research at national conferences such as CHEST, American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE), Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM), American Thoracic Society (ATS), and American Society of Nephrology (ASN). We are excited to encourage scholarship in our program and enjoy working with residents to achieve their academic goals.
