Research/ Scholarly Activities

The Department of Internal Medicine has a thriving Research Department under the supervision of Dr. Vidya Menon. The hospital has its own IRB or Internal Review Board and has its own dedicated research assistants assigned for Internal Medicine department alone. Throughout the years, the department makes sure to utilize research activities to further enhance learning of both faculties and residents. During the Pandemic, research and other scholarly activities have thrived very much as the institution participates in different drug trials and studies. 

Every year, the Lincoln Medical Center organizes an Annual Research Competition wherein all departments of multiple disciplines participates in showcasing different projects mostly related to patient care. 

All residents engaged in research and scholarly activities are given a chance to rotate in a Research Rotation as approved by the Program which is a 2-week dedicated elective time to focus on their research projects and publish their scholarly works. All research and publications are written done by the residents are under supervision of attendings. 

The Department/ Residency Program supports residents and faculties in presentation of their works into various societies and conferences.
