Residents Present New Ideas in Reproductive Health
Obstetrics and gynecology residents worked for three to four years on projects presented during Resident Research Day.
Texas Tech Physicians of Lubbock Obstetrics and Gynecology staff, administrators, nurses, and billing personnel recently gathered as the department showcased the hard work of residents during the 20th Annual Resident Research Day.
On Resident Research Day, residents at all levels of training present an update on the research they and their assigned mentors have been working on since their first years of residency. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education requires obstetrics and gynecology residents to participate in research activities.
Samuel Prien, Ph.D., director of research for the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, said Resident Research Day is a time to celebrate the research collaborations of residents and their faculty mentors.
“This is all part of a proud history first envisioned by then chair Dr. Messer and then associate chair Dr. McGunegle back in 1992 and fully supported by Dr. Yeomans and the clinical faculty today,” Prien said.
This year, 12 residents collaborated with eight faculty members to produce research proposals and/or completed research projects. Three of these projects also were presented at regional and/or national meetings, with two receiving special recognition.
Presentation topics included the effect of cellular phones on fertility, the future of forceps in obstetrics, ovarian preservation and reoperation and dealing with resident burnout.
