The UTMB Internal Medicine residency program is the ideal environment to train the highly skilled clinical investigators of tomorrow. Research projects are plentiful on the UTMB campus among a variety of departments. To foster research efforts, residents can dedicate elective rotations towards their research, free from clinical duties.
As a direct result, our residents have been able to present their efforts at various international, national, or regional conferences. Our residents have presented at all major conferences, such as Regional, State, and National ACP, ASCO, AACE, ACC, DDW, and AGS. UTMB Internal Medicine provides some financial assistance towards resident travel to make these trips feasible.
