Research Block:
You must speak to Dr. Zehtabchi or Dr. Shin one month prior to your rotations.

The goal of the rotation is a published pubMed Indexed manuscript.  Depending on experience, available options include:  Visual Diagnosis, Brief Report, Case Report, Review, or you may assist with one of the ongoing Original Research Projects.
