Research

Research and scholarly activity are a core part of our fellowship program. Second year fellows have dedicated research time during their second year of training (around 5 months) and have the opportunity to do clinical research in collaboration with their mentors or bench research ( e.g. lung injury, ARDS, Asthma, Sleep Disorders) at Rutgers University labs.

Fellows are also encouraged to attend all major conferences and present abstracts and original research during these meetings.
