The large volume of clinical care that exists in all subspecialties represented by the teaching staff presents many opportunities for residents and faculty to participate in research.   This training exceeds national standards for accreditation and puts residents on the cutting edge of science and therapy.

Each department has a core of attending physicians who conduct research and act as faculty mentors for the resident investigators.   The Department of Medical Education includes staff who assist residents in developing research projects, utilizing research methodology, and preparing manuscripts for publication and presentation at regional and national meetings.

Interactive conferences on medical literature interpretation, applied descriptive and inferential biostatistics, experimental design and protocol development are part of each residency program’s core curriculum.

The research staff provides residents with individualized project support that includes literature searching, statistical analysis, data presentation, formatting and editing, and preparing protocols for submission to the Institutional Research Review Board.

Residents in any program can participate in multidisciplinary studies, sponsored research and collaborative projects with other institutions.

As part of the training program, each resident produces at least one scholarly work suitable for publication;   most are submitted for Monmouth’s annual manuscript and poster day.   In this juried competition, prizes are awarded by a multidisciplinary committee based on originality, significant contribution to medicine, involvement, organization and style, and degree of effort by the author.

Residents and attending physicians regularly present their findings at regional and national meetings of their respective societies and frequently have their articles published in major peer-reviewed journals.   Residents attending national professional society meetings receive travel stipends and are relieved from regular program duties.
