Research activity

  • Residents and faculty meet two times a month to review the latest clinical and basic science research articles, gain insight into ongoing research activities within the Department, and look for answers to clinical questions.
  • Each resident has a theme for their clinical research work and reports their results four times a year. Several times a year, residents review interesting cases from their consultation services to their peers. Complex medical cases are presented with a pathology review.

Examples of topics:
  • Study of the biliary tract organs after a pregnancy miscarriage
  • Characteristics of the course of gastroesophageal reflux disease in the elderly with hypertension

Training base

All residents supervise patients and work in diagnostic and treatment laboratories. The culmination of the theoretical and practical modules is clinical research work. The resident analyzes the clinical experience gained and interprets it from the standpoint of a practicing physician.
