Scholarly Activity Requirements for Surgery Residents

Please note:  these requirements are NOT FINALIZED and are under review by both faculty and residents.  If you have any questions or comments about these requirements, please direct them to the Vice Chairman for Research, Lyle L. Moldawer, PhD.

In a prospective or a retrospective study, all residents must:

• Define a research hypothesis
• Develop and implement a methodology
• Collect and analyze data
• Interpret findings
• Prepare and submit a manuscript to a peer-reviewed journal
  • Requirements for Manuscript: Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Conclusions, Summary, References, and Tables/Figures. 
• Present the findings at a public forum (Department of Surgery Research Day, or a regional or national meeting)

Additional options ONLY for residents completing residency in 2005 or 2006:

• A surgical case report submitted for peer-review
• A chapter for a textbook

A SHORT PROGRESS REPORT IS DUE AT THE END OF THE THIRD YEAR.  ALL RESEARCH MUST BE COMPLETED BY MARCH 31 OF THE FINAL YEAR.

Deviations from these requirements will necessitate approval from the Department of Surgery Research Advisory Committee.
