Residents are encouraged to engage in academic pursuits during their residency experience. Faculty mentorship is available in multiple disciplines and structured research curricula are also available to residents. The residency program offers monetary assistance to all residents to attend a medical conference or a medical mission trip. Additionally, the program offers financial support for a second conference attendance at which residents are presenters.
