Group is a resident-run
collaborative of OHSU IM residents, who strive to lower the activation
energy needed for residents to participate in research through peer-
to-peer support and professional networking, with the aim of
fostering scholarship in all forms, as we strive to uphold the academic
mission of our program, the greater OHSU community, and the
medical profession
Phases of Resident Research
Types of Projects:
•
Annual ACP/SGIM:
•
Case Reports:
•
Review Articles:
•
Retrospective Database Research
•
Less High Yield to be Productive, but Can Consider:
•
IRB: (OHSU vs. VA vs. Combined)
•
Clinical Trials
Timeline/Time Commitment:
•
Important to know if timeline feasible with your work schedule.
•
Flexibility of timeline.
Authorship:
•
Important to know your place in authorship, to ensure it matches
with the amount of work you are putting in.
•
First or Second authorship is fine.
•
**NOTE: if multi-center study, it is imperative to know the point of
contact from the other institutions.
•
Ensure you are on all subsequent abstracts/publications.
•
Ensure appropriate OHSU liaison to continue keeping you updated.
Don’t Be Afraid to Collaborate:
•
Very easy to want to remain independent.
•
Benefits for Collaboration:
•
Ideally someone with alternative schedule (ie, different firm color).
•
Ability to comb through data collection/analysis quicker.
•
Can alternate first/second author and continue collaboration after.
•
Increase number of publications/posters.
Goals for Projects:
•
Specific Conference Deadline
•
Specific Journal Deadline
•
Clarify responsibility for manuscript correspondence/process of
submitting to further journals.
•
Easy to format manuscripts to the first 2-3 journals you plan to submit
to, so you can have relatively quick turnover.

Quarterly Newsletter
Cardiology Interest Group
•
The Cardiology Mentorship Group is a cardiology fellowship interest group that was formed by
representatives from the OHSU Internal Medicine Residency and OHSU Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship.
The overarching mission of this group is to provide early to residents interested in cardiology fellowship,
connect residents with cardiology specific scholarly mentorship activities and help facilitate connections with
faculty mentors.
Objectives:
•
Pairing strongly interested residents with current fellows to provide early mentorship on enhancing their
understanding of a career in cardiology and the process of getting there (research, applying, interviewing,
matching etc). Pairings would ideally meet or be in contact at least twice in an academic year.
•
Identify cardiology faculty members willing to mentor residents in scholarly projects and communicate via E-
mail (through SPEAR-IM Scholarship group) about these opportunities as the arise
•
Cardiology fellow-mentors will help residents identify faculty mentors (for research, clinical opportunities,
LOR, etc).
•
The current executive members will identify successors to their respective roles when necessary to sustain
the aforementioned helpful opportunities for future classes.
OCTRI:
•
In person classes/workshops
•
Typically 1 hour in duration (12p-1p)
•

•
IRB Lunch & Learn”
