The Pediatric Residency Program at Children's Memorial Hospital

Senior projects 2009

Faculty mentors like Robert Listernick, MD, offer guidance to PL-3 residents working on their senior projects

During the third year, residents, under the guidance of a faculty preceptor, complete a senior project. Many perform clinical or laboratory studies. Each study is resident-initiated and seeks to answer a research-orientated question.

In the spring, residents formally present their projects to the house staff and pediatric faculty. This requirement provides residents with the experience of becoming an expert in a particular area of medicine and with an appreciation for the complexity of doing quality research.

Many of the research studies are presented at national meetings and are published in refereed journals.
