The single accreditation system has put greater focus on programs to cultivate a culture of research and scholarly activity. Faculty and resident scholarly and research activities should be a prevalent component of graduate medical education. Programs with osteopathic recognition have the further mandate to engage in scholarly activity  and research tied to osteopathic principles & practice. We can help each other foster the culture of continued learning and research as an educational consortium. This month's newsletter highlights learning and resources related to scholarly inquiry.
Still OPTI has created a research mentorship program with a list of mentors to guide a resident through the research process. Click here or on the image to learn more.
 
Other Research Assistance Tools for Still OPTI Residents:
The Still OPTI Resident Research & Scholarly Activity Award is a fund designed specifically to assist Still OPTI residents with research projects and travel to present posters, papers, and other research at state, national, and specialty college conferences. Funds are available now but limited for each academic year.

Research Training Course
Still OPTI members have access to a comprehensive online research training course  from Statewide Campus System at Michigan State University. The course is designed to train residents in appropriate methods of doing research, in fulfillment of the ACGME/AOA Core Competencies for residency training. Faculty Mentor Handbooks were provided to each program and contain an overview of the 20 content modules and assessment plans.
