McMaster residents have three mandatory scholarly project requirements to be completed over the course of their residency. For each, there is a designated Faculty Coordinator who is available to residents for assistance and guidance. Additionally there are academic seminars reserved for training and information sharing for each of the three projects. These projects are:
- One Grand Rounds Presentation
- One Quality Improvement Project
- One Poster Presentation at a Department Research Day (the topic of which may be the resident’s Quality Assurance Project or Grand Rounds)
