Research opportunities

Research opportunities under the direction of selected faculty are available either during elective time or throughout the three-year program. With more than 15,000 square feet of research space, the department manages active funded programs in general pediatric medicine as well as in each of the subspecialty areas, from clinical to molecular biology.

The Department of Pediatrics is in the top 10 of state-funded school for research grants. Each resident completes a research project during their residency training (clinical, bench, educational or health services). A number of our residents have presented their work at national meetings of professional societies.

In 2008, 8 of our residents presented their research at the Pediatric Academic Societies meetings in Hawaii.
