Resident Research
Residents who have identified a project and faculty mentor can apply in the spring of their CA-1 year for blocks of research time to be used in their CA-2 and CA-3 years. Projects range from retrospective chart reviews to molecular biology. The application process involves a small proposal which is reviewed competitively.
Dripps Scholarship
In the fall of their CA-1 year, residents with research interests are encouraged to apply for a Dripps Scholarship award. This highly competitive award, named in honor of the first Penn Anesthesia Chair, Robert D. Dripps, entitles the holder to additional stipend during their CA-2 and 3 years, unique research opportunities, and guarantees a T32 position, or a clinical fellowship with at least 12 months of research time after their CA-3 year.
FAER Resident Scholar Program
An educational grant of $1,000 is provided to selected anesthesiology programs to facilitate this educational opportunity for CA-1 or early CA-2 residents. Residents participate in activities at the ASA Annual Meeting, including workshops, scientific sessions, exhibits and refresher courses.
