SCIENCE IN RESIDENCY
The Brigham has a long tradition of supporting the personal development of physician-scientists, and through the SiR program, we continue to keep that tradition alive.
Mission Statement
Our goal is to provide an interface between the exemplary clinical care within the Internal Medicine residency program and the incredibly rich basic and translational research environment that exists here at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
Program Features
Elective Time
SiR members will have the opportunity to combine their elective blocks during the third year of residency, giving members an extended elective block to engage in investigative research.
Mentoring
An integral component of the SiR program is a dedicated mentoring infrastructure that is headed by program director Dr. Rebecca Baron and that draws from the scientific community at large between Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, MIT, and other affiliated institutions.
