How trainees publishauthor positions, faculty co-authorship, ranks
Papers by current residents and fellows, and alumni within two years, published during training. Based on 7 of 12 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.
