With the terrific backdrop of our organization, Kaiser East Bay pediatric residents have rich opportunities to explore and discover through research and scholarly pursuits. Many of our residents are involved with research and scholarship projects, ranging from clinical inquiries to quality improvement to medical education. Strong support is provided for residents to engage in these pursuits and present their work in a variety of venues.
We have two full-time dedicated research coordinators who support resident research at the Oakland Medical Center. In addition, our residency program has an established relationship with our regional Division of Research (DOR), where residents may access patient databases, statisticians, and other analytical support to assist in project planning, data collection and processing, and vehicles for dissemination. Our residents also receive a yearly educational stipend with additional funds available to support attendance at national conferences to present their work.
