Research and Scholarly Activity
Our residents participate in a variety of scholarly activity at Rush from longitudinal research, quality improvement projects and case reports. Our program provides funding for residents to attend national and local conferences to proudly present their work.
Residents collaborate with supportive faculty mentors 
to help them meet their research goals. Residents choose to rotate on a designated research elective so they can dedicate time working on large projects.The department hosts the Rush Pediatric Scholarly Activity Symposium (PSAS) which is a fun way for students, residents, and faculty to show off their scholarly achievements each year!
