The annual review rewards excellence in scholarly activity in 14 categories among Monmouth’s 107 physicians-in-training.
“The research competition provides an opportunity for our resident and attending physicians to work together to develop habits of inquiry, learn to evaluate research findings and gain new knowledge in a wide range of medical and surgical areas,” says Joseph Jaeger, chief academic officer at Monmouth, which is a major regional medical campus of Drexel University College of Medicine, Philadelphia. “The awards recognize the fact that we’re all dedicated to enhancing this collaborative environment among our physicians, which promotes both academic and clinical growth.”
