01 / Need

Research training needs a durable home.

A four-year residency curriculum produces advisors, datasets, presentations, milestones, and manuscripts. GIS Qi organizes that work inside a secure web platform rather than scattering it across documents and ad hoc links.

02 / Build

Curriculum plus spatial quality improvement.

ConductScience built a platform that combines curriculum resources, protected research databases, people directories, announcements, and ArcGIS-connected workflows for geographic health analysis.

03 / Outcome

Residents move from inquiry to scholarly output.

The program supports a structured path from topic selection and needs assessment through implementation, presentation, manuscript preparation, and grant-oriented scholarly work.

Implementation model

From clinical need to running software.

PGY-1

Inquiry Phase

Residents identify topics, conduct needs assessments, analyze HARC data, and map community resources.

PGY-2

Research Phase

Early data collection and preliminary analyses become journal club and review-ready work.

PGY-3

Evaluation Phase

Implementation and refinement prepare the strongest projects for external conference submission.

PGY-4

Construction Phase

Residents move toward manuscript preparation, grant writing, and formal scholarly output.
