Pediatric Residency Research

During a pediatric resident's tenure, they are involved in a couple small research projects.

• Show & Tell - A PL-1 resident is required to present and fully discuss a patient case report to the rest of the residents during Noon conference.
• Research Poster - During the second year of training, the PL-2 resident is required to do a poster-style case report which will be presented at Resident Research Day. These case reports should present significant or rare observations with merit for publication. In addition to the poster, a five-minute oral presentation is given to discuss the results of the poster.
• Clinical Pathology Conference (CPC) - PL-3 residents will complete a one-hour presentation during Pediatric Grand Rounds. A standard presentation should consist of case discussion, differential diagnosis, work-up in diagnosis, and final diagnosis.
• Hypothesis-driven Research Project - A PL-3 resident is required to complete a retrospective or prospective research study. Their research will be presented during Resident Research Day.
