There will be opportunities to complete existing research projects, initiate new ones and to present findings at local, national and international meetings. The fellow is strongly encouraged to help design and complete at least one clinical research or quality improvement project with appropriate supervision and mentorship. The fellow will receive half to one day a week of protected academic time and will be encouraged to devote the majority of the protected time to the research project. The anesthesia research group meetings take place every second Tuesday of every month, from 4-5 pm. Participants include researchers, grant writers, statisticians, and research assistants. We encourage the fellow to send their project proposal ahead of time to ensure completion. The fellowship also offers the possibility for the fellow to get involved in quality improvement projects.
