Department research is under the direction of the Research Committee comprised of faculty members from each division and department's research nurses. There is a structured and substantial clinical research program as well as a productive and well-focused basic science program. Residents are exposed to every aspect of these research endeavors. Each resident is required to perform their own research project and present their results during their fourth year at the annual research forum. Each resident has a faculty research advisor. Recent projects have utilized the Learning Center with simulation drills in shoulder dystocia anlaparoscopy. A basic science project was complete in a departmental laboratory under the direction of Dr. M. Raj. Gross anatomy projects can be done in conjunction with the Urogynecology section.

Dr. Joseph Miller, Chair of the Research Committee and the committee members advise and assist the residents in obtaining proper permissions writing research projects for submission to IRB and IACUC. This process begins with securing institutional review board (IRB) and/or institutional animal care and use committee (IACUC) approval. In conjunction with faculty advisors, 4 residents will formally present at national meetings in 2008.
