Network of Affiliated Family Medicine Residencies

Research Symposium Day

One of the many goals of the Network of Affiliated Family Medicine Residencies is to develop and foster research and presentation skills for all residents within the Network. The Resident Research Symposium provides a peer-reviewed forum for residents from Network-affiliated residencies to share results from their research projects and discuss healthcare implications of their research with other Network residents and faculty. Presentations are evaluated by the Network Research Committee on the basis of clarity and originality of research question, methodological rigor, clarity and organization of the presentation, and quality of discussion of results and conclusion. This Symposium takes place the first week of June.

This year the Sixteenth Research Symposium was held on June 4, 2008. There were 80 faculty/residents in attendance. Opening remarks were given by Dr. Alfred Tallia (Chair and Associate Professor of Family Medicine at UMDNJ/RWJMS). Dr. Tallia's remarks focused upon the importance of improving healthcare quality through primary care research.
