Internal Medicine
Residency Program Scholarly Activity Day |
Overview
Scholarly activity is a cornerstone of the
Cleveland Clinic’s mission and an integral part of
each
internal medicine resident’s clinical training. We
believe that physicians must be able to:
- access, critique and synthesize medical data from the
literature and apply it to patient care, and
- ask appropriate questions and generate and test hypotheses
based on their own experiences.
We also believe it is imperative to effectively
share information with patients and other
professionals both orally and in writing. We have developed
an exciting program to assist
residents in completing their scholarly activity requirements.
Minimum Requirement
The two-part Cleveland Clinic requirement for all categorical
internal medicine residents includes:
- completion of a 30-60
minute oral presentation and a one-on-one teaching session
with a
reference librarian, and
- completion of a written project suitable
for publication or presentation.

Residents can use a variety of study designs
for their written projects including, but not limited
to, case series, meta-analysis or clinical trial. A medical
education, medical history, quality
improvement, or cost-effectiveness study may also be an
appropriate project.
Specially designed research
resources and classes are made available to residents
to acquire
the skills necessary to complete their scholarly activity
requirements and to prepare them for a lifetime of self-directed
learning and enhanced competitiveness in the academic or
job market arenas.
Special Research Tracks
Residents especially interested in basic science or clinical
research can apply for the highly competitive
ABIM Research Pathway or the personally tailored Clinical
Scholar Program (Clinschop). Clinschop is open to selected
2nd year residents, affording them a four-month
block of time dedicated to research, clinical teaching courses,
didactics and continued clinical training.
Division of Medicine Support of Resident
Research
Cleveland Clinic Internal Medicine Residents are not only
mentored in their research but are also strongly
encouraged to present their data at regional and national
meetings and publish abstracts, articles and
book chapters. Our 300+ medicine faculty include many nationally
and internationally known clinician
researchers and educators who are available to serve as
research mentors or co-authors. The program
has a resident travel budget in order to facilitate resident
participation at national research meetings.
