How trainees publishauthor positions, faculty co-authorship, ranks
Papers by current residents and fellows, and alumni within two years, published during training. Based on 12 of 19 trainees matched to publication records. Trainees with no match count as not yet published, so these figures are a floor.
Faculty detailsh-index, papers and author positions per person
Program leadership from the program's own pages, matched to publications. Leadership is mostly clinician-educators, so these numbers describe the teaching team, not the department's research. Works since 2022-01-01.
