Every resident is encouraged to develop a scholarly project which can be executed sometime during the Program. Almost all residents do so. Such projects may take the form of research leading to a publishable paper, but may also include preparation of a scientific exhibit, an oral presentation (such as at a local society meeting), synthesis of clinical material into an intramural presentation or report, preparing cases for submission to web-based teaching files, or the like.

Over the last three years, radiology residents have participated in the presentation of over thirty scientific exhibits outside of the Department and have authored or co-authored a dozen papers or abstracts.

In four out of the last five years, one of our senior residents has been selected for the RSNA/ARRS/AUR "Introduction to Research Award," given to only one of 80 3rd-year residents throughout the Nation. In addition, our radiology residents have won awards from the Association of Women Radiologists, the RSNA and a radiology resident was recently chosen as the outstanding member of the Hospital Housestaff.
