Resident Research
Resident Research is an integral component of OB/GYN residency training at LSUHSC New Orleans. Each aspect of a resident's project is overseen by the Resident Research Committee (RRC) Chairs, Tabitha Quebedeaux, MD, PhD (MFM) and Tara Castellano, MD (GYN-ONC).
We appreciate the need for continued feedback and guidance when fulfilling this requirement throughout a demanding residency. Therefore, the goal of the RRC is to provide hands on guidance throughout project completion. Residents have access to regular office hours reserved by the RRC chairs as well as in-depth support from an adjunct consultant (Dr. Elizabeth Sutton). Dr. Sutton brings expertise in study design and translation of clinical medicine to research. Her role is that of liaison between resident, mentor, and statistician.
It is expected for all residents to successfully present their research by the end of PGY3 year. Specific guidelines for generalist versus fellowship tracks have been designed to support those residents seeking fellowship training.
Current projects cover a vast array of topics from General OB/GYN, Family Planning Maternal Fetal Medicine, Gynecologic Oncology and Urogynecology. We invite you to discuss your research ideas with us as you interview with our program. You can also review our Resident Research Day programs attached here.
