There is an extensive network of research mentors at Geisinger. When an area of interest is identified, meetings can be arranged with research mentors in your respective field. Research mentors will assist in the processes where funding is available for statistical support and data gathering once your project is started. Additionally, they can provide support for navigating the IRB process. Under the guidance of our dedicated research mentors at Geisinger, our residents have been wildly successful at producing published papers, abstracts, and research presentations. Here you will find sample scholarly activities from our residents from the past couple of years.
