MDFMR residents are required to complete two scholarly projects, one of which must be a quality improvement project. Residents in a designated osteopathic position also engage in osteopathic scholarship by leading a Journal Club with osteopathic content or integrating osteopathic principles and practice into a didactic or conference presentation.
Examples of recent projects our residents have been involved with include:
- Studying the effect of a hybrid OMT clinic model
- Exploring unintended pregnancy among women with opiate use disorder
- Investigating clinician knowledge and behavior related to metabolic associated steatotic liver disease
- Assessment of POCUS utilization in a rural emergency department
- Current practices for dietary guidance at routine clinic visits
- Implementation of interconception care to improve birth outcomes and health of birthing people, infants, and families
- Numerous case presentations and publications
