Scholarly tracks were developed to allow residents to begin to develop an area of expertise, while concurrently building their CV. Participation in a scholarly track gives residents the opportunity to develop a niche interest that can help to improve career satisfaction, and can support competitive fellowship and job applications. There are currently 16 unique tracks at Cooper. Each has its own requirements, and many provide residents with some form of specialty certification, such as instructor status for PALS/ACLS. Tracks focus on teaching residents skills that will be needed in their future careers: oral presentation, mentorship, scientific writing, administration, and continuous quality assurance.
Residents interested in a scholarly track work closely with track leaders. Tracks and their leaders are listed below:
