Saint Thomas Health Resident Research Week 2020


Integration of Scholarship at the Beside and Clinic

Welcome!

"Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change."

-Stephen Hawking

Welcome to this community of highly intelligent people and thank you for bringing your curiosity and flexibility with you!

The industry, persistence and smarts of our residents are once again on display for Research Day and circumstances have invited a new, creative way to present that hard work to you.

So, be curious and explore this collection of investigations.

Your active participation in the conversation created by these projects is appreciated.

As John Holt said, "learning is not the product of teaching. Learning is the product of the activity of learners".

Have fun!

What is Resident Research Week?

Each year we take time to highlight the scholarly work of residents training at Saint Thomas Health. Typically, this happens during our live event, Saint Thomas Health Resident Research Day, where residents share their research efforts with peers, faculty and other interested attendees.

The presence of COVID-19 required that we reconsider our approach to highlighting the scholarly work of our residents in 2020, and as a result, we are excited to virtually present Saint Thomas Health Resident Research Week 2020!

Please explore this virtual event using the menu that appears on the left of your screen (if accessing on a computer), or by clicking the three lines at the top left of your screen (if accessing on a phone or tablet). Highlights include:


  • A Keynote Address from E. Wesley Ely, MD, MPH, Vanderbilt University Medical Center

  • The addition of residents from our Pharmacy residency programs

  • Video presentations from our residents, with the ability to post comments and questions


We welcome you! Thank you for supporting our residents and their scholarly work.
