Research Opportunities
Myriad dynamic clinical and basic research is ongoing at both the NewYork Presbyterian - Weill Cornell Center and at the New York Hospital-Queens, and Residents are encouraged to pursue research throughout the course of their training under the mentorship of a diverse and successful academic faculty. Many of our Residents in the past have published in peer-reviewed journals, and presented oral and poster presentations at national conferences, including the Society for Gynecologic Oncology (SGO), The Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine (SMFM), The American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG).
Chiefs' Day
Each Resident, during the course of his/her four years, must complete an original research project under the direction of a faculty sponsor. At the end of the Chief's year, a "Chief Residents'/Alumni Day Program" is held, in which such projects are presented to the department and evaluated by a Visiting Professor.
