Scholarly Activity
Quality Improvement:
The FSU-Internal Medicine Residency at TMH has a robust and comprehensive quality improvement (QI) curriculum. Residents design and implement quality improvement projects either in the inpatient or outpatient FSU-IMR clinic. As part of the QI curriculum, residents learn about basic statistics and how to incorporate that into their project.
Each resident is expected to complete a QI project throughout their residency. Examples of past QI projects: Outpatient antibiotic stewardship, De-labelling penicillin allergy, Increasing utilization of pulmonary function tests, and Crash cart. Are we ready?
Scholarly Activities:
The FSU-Internal Medicine Residency at TMH offers multiple opportunities for scholarly activities. TMH has been involved in multiple COVID clinical trials.
In addition to clinic trials, residents engage in scholarly activity ranging from presentations to poster submissions. The poster presentations are a great opportunity for residents to highlight the rare and interesting cases encountered during their rotations at TMH. A recent poster titled “An Atypical Case of Twiddler’s Syndrome” won first place at the Florida Medical Association.
FSU and the University of Florida have partnered to provide the opportunity to receive guidance, training and support to scholars interested in research. This virtual program provides guidance on grant applications as well as how to write and submit scholarly work.
Expect to leave here exceptionally well trained.
