Research
Participation in at least one project is required. Additional projects are encouraged. It is each fellow's responsibility to identify an acceptable project early in the year. A potentially publishable paper or exhibit must be completed before the end of training. Findings will be presented at a divisional noon conference and must be submitted to the Corewell Health William Beaumont University Research Institute for consideration for the annual Resident and Fellow Research Forum.
