Annual Research Day

With a strong tradition of robust research at the University of Miami/Jackson Health System, we integrate research training throughout the residency and fellowship programs to help our trainees master basic as well as more advanced concepts of research. To showcase our residents and fellows and their exceptional achievements in research, women’s health clinical care and education, we host an Annual Research Day at the end of the academic year. On Research Day, residents and fellows present their research which is a culmination of hard work, thoughtful inquiry, and personal and professional growth. We are grateful for their tireless work. Many women and families have benefited from their experience and commitment to the highest quality patient care.  We look forward to the significant contributions and unwavering dedication to improving women’s health that our residents and fellows will make in the years ahead as they pursue future endeavors.
