All osteopathic residents are required to successfully complete
a total of three research projects that are detailed below. Original
research projects are encouraged, and residents who pursue a
complex, large-scale research project, which in the estimation
of the Research Director and the Residency Director is a multi-year
project, may be permitted to submit formal interim reports as
their annual paper. As a rule, this practice will not be followed.
Residents are also encouraged to become involved in emergency
medicine organizations on the hospital, state and national level.
Of the three required research projects, one is considered “major”,
the other two “minor”.
A Major Research Project involves data collection and analysis.
The resident, working with a designated faculty member, is expected
to develop and work on all aspects of the project, from background
research, initial proposal, IRB approval, funding, data collection
and analysis, to writing and submitting the paper. In order to
receive credit, the project must yield a completed manuscript,
ready for submission to a peer-reviewed journal. Publication
is not necessary to receive credit for the project.
A Minor Research Project may be a case report, review of the
literature, or survey. A letter to the editor may suffice if
it involves the collection and analysis of data. Again, a completed
manuscript, ready for publication, must be completed in order
to gain credit. In addition, the program may offer residents
the opportunity to participate in academic/administrative projects
that will qualify for credit as a minor project.
Requirements for research are copied below directly from the
Program Requirements for Emergency Medicine as published by the
RRC-EM. All residents are required to successfully complete such
a research project. Original research projects are encouraged,
but not required. The resident, working with a faculty member,
is expected to participate in all aspects of the project from
background research, IRB approval, funding, data collection/analysis,
to writing and submitting the paper. The research director and
residency director will grant credit for completion of this project.
Publication is not necessary to receive credit for this requirement.
Resident Scholarly Activities: Provision of support for resident
participation in scholarly activities.
1. Each program must provide an opportunity for residents to
participate in research or other scholarly activities, and residents
must participate actively in such scholarly activities.
2. The curriculum should include resident experience in scholarly
activity prior to completion of the program. Some examples of
suitable resident scholarly activities are the preparation of
a scholarly paper such as a collective review or case report,
active participation in a research project, or formulation and
implementation of an original research project; and,
3. Residents must be taught an understanding of basic research
methodologies, statistical analysis, and critical analysis of
current medical literature.
