General Pediatrics Residency Program2016-2017

ResearchResearch helps propel the field of medicine. Working closely with investigators at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, the residents and faculty of Cohen Children’s Medical Center have developed new treatments and therapies that improve the quality of care we provide to patients.

Research

Scholarly pursuits by residents are highly encouraged and supported. By the beginning of PGY2 year, most residents have selected a mentor to help them with their research. In addition, many residents may elect to take a “research month” to pursue in-depth scholarly activity during their PGY2 and PGY3 years.

The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, located on our North Shore University Hospital campus, is a unique disease-oriented biomedical research institution dedicated to advancing science. More than 100 physicians and scientists study diseases at all levels from molecular biology to patient-oriented research – and translate their scientific findings into practical use. The institute provides training, monetary support and personnel to help residents with their research projects. In addition, each pediatric division is involved in a number of research initiatives in which resident participation is encouraged. Projects include bench research, clinical research, performance-improvement methodology and population health.

There are many opportunities for resident researchers to present their work. Every year, Northwell sponsors a Resident Academic Day during which residents throughout the health system compete for awards, and the department of pediatrics sponsors a Resident Research Day and a Quality Symposium. In addition, many residents present their work at national meetings. Our program directors and faculty are committed to fostering all resident’s academic pursuits.
