Child residents will participate in an in-depth review of a specific area or a research project in which research design, data gathering, data analysis, and interpretation of findings will be learned. Each resident becomes either a part of ongoing research efforts of the faculty or develops, with the faculty members' aid, a project of their own. Each resident will be expected to write a paper and/or present the results of this project. Presentation at national meetings and publication is strongly encouraged but is not a requirement for graduation.
