The UTMB Health Department of Family Medicine hosted its annual Resident Research Day on May 30 in the Primary Care Pavilion. Seven posters were presented, and three research teams also gave presentations on their projects. Faculty and residents attended the event and participated in scholarly discussion of the various projects.
Faculty in the Department of Family Medicine Research Program oversaw the event. Susan Weller, PhD, Professor and Director of the Research Program, commented that the residents’ work was “well done”, Dr. Angela Shepherd, Associate Professor and a principal investigator with more than a decade of experience in clinical research, worked closely with many of the residents to develop and refine their posters. Also providing instruction and guidance were Alvah R. Cass, MD, SM, Professor and Vice Chair, and Brett Howrey, PhD, Assistant Professor.
Residents in the Family Medicine Residency Program are expected to participate in research during their training, and the program places an emphasis on the importance of systematic inquiry and data analysis for scholarship and continuous quality improvement. Residents are given opportunities to participate on projects conducted by faculty members, as well as mentorship on their own projects by faculty members.
