Research and Scholarly Activities

Research and Scholarly Activities (2019-2020)

Scholarly activity is a program requirement at NYU Winthrop Hospital. Our residents can select a focus in basic/clinical research, quality improvement, or advocacy. Our faculty mentors have diverse research backgrounds and interests. Residents have the option of selecting 2-week or 4-week research elective during their training. Many of our residents have had posters and/or oral presentations at local, regional, and national meetings.
