Members of the Department of Pediatrics are involved in a wide variety of clinical research.
We also collaborate on projects between departments. Many of our residents have taken the opportunity to join one of the ongoing investigations to satisfy their resident project requirement. Others have developed their own ideas with the help of a faculty mentor. Below is a sampling of the fine work that is produced as a result of the resident project initiative.
