Throughout the course of training, there are numerous opportunities for mentored clinical and basic science projects. About a third of our residents elect to spend a dedicated two years in research, although this is not required. Recent such endeavors include:

• Machine Learning/Data Analytics in Healthcare, USF
• Surgical Oncology, National Cancer Institute
• Hernia Surgery/Outcomes Research, UT Houston
• Thoracic Surgery, Brigham and Women's Hospital

All residents are supported in endeavors to present/publish research. Recent resident publications include:
