Research is encouraged, with each resident assuming an assigned project. Those with potential publications learn the process of completing IRB documentation and research writing. Each resident MUST complete either a research or performance improvement project prior to graduation. The Metropolitan Hospital Center holds research day every year. Below is a video of research day in February 2012:
