Research

 

Eighteen months of the program are set aside for research, scholarly activities and quality improvement projects. Fellows will be expected to engage in projects in which they develop hypotheses or in projects of substantive scholarly exploration and analysis that require critical thinking. Areas in which scholarly activity may be pursued include, but are not limited to: basic, clinical, or translational biomedicine; health services; quality improvement; bioethics; education; and public policy. Fellows must gather and analyze data, derive and defend conclusions, place conclusions in the context of what is known or not known about a specific area of inquiry, and present their work in oral and written form to their Scholarship Oversight Committee and elsewhere.

Research Excellence:

Research plays a pivotal role in advancing the field of pediatric Gastroenterology, propelling the discipline forward and enhancing the treatment and care of neonates, children, and adults. This investigative work is not only fundamental to the progression of the field but also serves as a cornerstone for the professional growth of our Gastroenterology fellows.

Scholarly Contributions:

To culminate their training, our fellows are tasked with the creation and authorship of a scholarly work. This requirement is a testament to their dedication and intellectual engagement and can involve a variety of investigative areas, encompassing basic science, clinical practice, translational research, health services, policy analysis, quality enhancement, or educational theory.
