ABIM Research Pathway
Overview
For housestaff who have extensive research interests and academic subspecialty career goals, we offer an ABIM Research Pathway. This pathway is appropriate for residents with a strong research background (usually with a Master’s Degree or Ph.D.) who want to pursue their research interests more quickly than those in the traditional residency program.
This pathway consists of two years of Internal Medicine training in the Categorical track, followed by guaranteed support for their cardiology clinical training years, and at least three years of research training. Ongoing Continuity Clinic experience is required during the research years. During their research years, trainees are encouraged to seek outside funding to facilitate their transition to independent researchers.
Our Cardiovascular Medicine Division is nationally recognized for excellence in clinical care, research, and teaching. Learn more about research opportunities in the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine.
Please see the application instructions on the Internal Medicine Residency website.
