Resident Research, Quality Improvement, Community Education and Conferences
Resident Research, Quality Improvement, Community Education and Conferences EVMS Family Medicine supports resident research and quality improvement (QI) projects as well as efforts on our resident’s behalf to educate and empower our local community. We believe high-quality care stems from a strong foundation in QI projects and research. Many of our faculty and residents are part of several projects that aim to help improve resident life and patient outcomes. Our residents have also been invited to share their research posters and speak at conferences across the country.
Some examples of resident research and QI projects
- Telehealth and Diabetic Management
- Improving Immunization Rates Among African American Patients (AAFP supported)
- Improving Hemoglobin A1c Rates Among Diabetic Patients
