Clinical Scholar Program (Clinschop)

Internal Medicine Residency Program Scholarly Activity Day

The Clinschop program is an advanced research track that offers selected residents anticipating
a career in academic medicine more time for research and scholarly experiences.

Clinschop residents receive a 4-month block of research and coursework in their second year,
special participation in our visiting professor program and are awarded a special certificate upon graduation.

To help strengthen academic skills, Clinschop residents participate in clinical teaching seminars,
courses in clinical research or epidemiology, and a medical writing course.

Intern applications for the program are accepted in March for the following academic year. Applicants submit a personal essay, research proposal and letters of recommendation from
both their research mentor and advisor. Applications are reviewed by a committee and selected in April.
