 Hi, I'm Bernadette Chiton. I'm one of the associate program directors for the internal medicine residency and I oversee the research and mentoring program. I believe that mentorship is critical to a training development and as a result we try to assign mentors to interns early in their residency. I personally meet with each intern and I sign the mentors based on their career interest. So whether you want to pursue a sub-specialty fellowship, primary care or hospitalist medicine, we will help to get you there. We provide workshops on abstract writing and poster presentations and we hold a sub-specialty fair in the fall where the principal investigators can share their resident-friendly research. I am so proud of our residents and their scholarly activity in the 2019-2020 academic year. We published 69 peer-reviewed publications. We had 27 abstracts accepted to national or international meetings and we had 43 abstracts presented at our regional Maryland ACP meeting. I'm proud of the mentorship program that we've cultivated here at Maryland and I'm even more proud of our residents' scholarly accomplishments.
