Scholarly work may include quality improvement projects or other work related to an academic pursuit. Under direct supervision of the faculty, residents have access to significant resources including biostatisticians, library services, journal resources, seminars, conferences, and research laboratories across the Hospital and Brown University campuses.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Matthew Murphy, MD, MPH, Residency Research Director, oversees the operation of the program. Dr. Murphy is an NIH-funded physician scientist who is a past graduate of our Brown internal medicine residency program. Dr. Murphy works with residents to ensure adequate support and guidance throughout the 3-part research process: Training, Execution, and Dissemination.<\/p>\n<h4>Training<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Throughout the PGY-1 Year, interns will begin their training in research and prepare to start their own research project.\n<li>Interns receive an introduction to the Residency Research Program upon arrival to Brown during orientation.\n<li>All interns receive human subjects training to participate in clinical research.\n<li>Each February, Interns attend the Annual PGY-1 Research Retreat, where they learn about developing a research question, mentoring options, statistical methods and support and presentation\/dissemination techniques.\n<li>Faculty research mentors are available based upon subspecialty interests.\n<\/ul>\n<p><P><\/p>\n<h4>Execution<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Residents may take elective months in the PGY-2 and PGY-3 year dedicated to research projects.\n<li>Departmental resources exist to support research including biostatistics, IRB submissions, and other administrative and methodological issues.\n<\/ul>\n<p><P><\/p>\n<h4>Dissemination<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Senior Resident Research Day is held each May as a forum for senior residents to present their work. A subset of residents are selected for Podium presentations during the Department of Medicine Grand Rounds. Prizes and recognition are awarded for these efforts.\n<li>Residents may elect to submit abstracts to the Annual ACP Associates Competition either at the State or National Levels or both. Residents may also submit to other national or local conferences.\n<li>Residents are encouraged to write up their research for peer review publication in a major academic journal.\n<\/ul>\n<p><h4>Structured Research Training Opportunities<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>The Resident Research Track is a formal two-year longitudinal program beginning in PGY-2 year with the goal of supporting residents in the development of a research question, implementing a plan to answer their proposed question utilizing resources at Brown and then disseminating their results through peer reviewed publications and presentations. The Track consists of monthly workshops including didactic sessions and discussions with leaders in research at Brown. Participation culminates in capstone project in their PGY3 year.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><P><\/p>\n<h4>2026 Resident Research Day Presenters<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Frederick Lu, MD<\/strong> \u2014 Enrollment, Participation, and Outcomes in Cardiac Rehabilitation Among Patients With Limited English Proficiency\n<li><strong>Thomas Palladino, MD<\/strong> \u2014 Quality of Life Reporting in Randomized Trials for Indolent Lymphomas: A Systematic Review by Sponsor Type\n<li><strong>Maya Tsao-Wu, MD<\/strong> \u2014 Heterosexual Syphilis in RI &#8211; Rising by Identity of Partner not Patient\n<li><strong>Charmi Trivedi, MD<\/strong> \u2014 Rehospitalization Following Immune-Related Adverse Events from Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: A Retrospective Review\n<li><strong>Stephanos Vassilopoulos, MD<\/strong> \u2014 Advances in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Drug Discovery: Developments and Challenges\n<li><strong>Anna Maria Vromans, MD<\/strong> \u2014 Biliary Tract Cancers: A Large Burden for Little Rhode Island\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Past Projects &amp; Publications<\/h4>\n<p>Research projects undertaken by medical residents have included original novel clinical and basic science investigations, clinical case reports, reviews of the literature, and other scholarly projects.

Click here for an overview of research opportunities in the Department of Medicine. All internal medicine residents at Brown participate in scholarly work or research projects during their residency. Scholarly work may include quality improvement projects or other work related to an academic pursuit. Under direct supervision of the faculty, residents have access to significant resources including biostatisticians, library services, journal resources, seminars, conferences, and research laboratories across the Hospital and Brown University campuses. Dr. Matthew Murphy, MD, MPH, Residency Research Director, oversees the operation of the program. Dr. Murphy is an NIH-funded physician scientist who is a past graduate of our Brown internal medicine residency program. Dr. Murphy works with residents to ensure adequate support and guidance throughout the 3-part research process: Training, Execution, and Dissemination. Training Throughout the PGY-1 Year, interns will begin their training in research and prepare to start their own research project. Interns receive an introduction to the Residency Research Program upon arrival to Brown during orientation. All interns receive human subjects training to participate in clinical research. Each February, Interns attend the Annual PGY-1 Research Retreat, where they learn about developing a research question, mentoring options, statistical methods and support and presentation\/dissemination techniques. Faculty research mentors are available based upon subspecialty interests. Execution Residents may take elective months in the PGY-2 and PGY-3 year dedicated to research projects. Departmental resources exist to support research including biostatistics, IRB submissions, and other administrative and methodological issues. Dissemination Senior Resident Research Day is held each May as a forum for senior residents to present their work. A subset of residents are selected for Podium presentations during the Department of Medicine Grand Rounds. Prizes and recognition are awarded for these efforts. Residents may elect to submit abstracts to the Annual ACP Associates Competition either at the State or National Levels or both. Residents may also submit to other national or local conferences. Residents are encouraged to write up their research for peer review publication in a major academic journal. Structured Research Training Opportunities The Resident Research Track is a formal two-year longitudinal program beginning in PGY-2 year with the goal of supporting residents in the development of a research question, implementing a plan to answer their proposed question utilizing resources at Brown and then disseminating their results through peer reviewed publications and presentations. The Track consists of monthly workshops including didactic sessions and discussions with leaders in research at Brown. Participation culminates in capstone project in their PGY3 year. 2026 Resident Research Day Presenters Frederick Lu, MD \u2014 Enrollment, Participation, and Outcomes in Cardiac Rehabilitation Among Patients With Limited English Proficiency Thomas Palladino, MD \u2014 Quality of Life Reporting in Randomized Trials for Indolent Lymphomas: A Systematic Review by Sponsor Type Maya Tsao-Wu, MD \u2014 Heterosexual Syphilis in RI &#8211; Rising by Identity of Partner not Patient Charmi Trivedi, MD \u2014 Rehospitalization Following Immune-Related Adverse Events from Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: A Retrospective Review Stephanos Vassilopoulos, MD \u2014 Advances in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Drug Discovery: Developments and Challenges Anna Maria Vromans, MD \u2014 Biliary Tract Cancers: A Large Burden for Little Rhode Island &nbsp; Past Projects &amp; Publications Research projects undertaken by medical residents have included original novel clinical and basic science investigations, clinical case reports, reviews of the literature, and other scholarly projects. Residents are encouraged to present their work at local and national meetings and to submit all projects for publication. Each year the Rhode Island Chapter of the American College of Physicians (ACP) and the Brown Department of Medicine co-sponsor the Annual ACP\/Brown University Residents Research Day which boasts over 100 posters or presentations by Brown residents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-124","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brownim.org\/2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/124","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brownim.org\/2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brownim.org\/2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brownim.org\/2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brownim.org\/2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/brownim.org\/2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/124\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2336,"href":"https:\/\/brownim.org\/2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/124\/revisions\/2336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brownim.org\/2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
