April 2012 Newsletter

Resident Research Projects

Our April Pediatric Research Newsletter is always devoted to the research efforts of our residents. This is a point of special pride for us. Imagine, if you will, trying to do research while caring for patients and families across the hours and throughout the days and within the constraints of the duty hour regulations! These are, indeed, special people with a special mission and energy. And they are fueled by the issues faced by the patients for whom they care, the support of their own residency colleagues and families, and the passion for research and teaching of their faculty mentors. Here, then, are our spotlighted residency research projects.
