Our faculty's research projects span a wide range of focus areas, from biology and psychology to primary care and community outcomes, with the goal of improving the practice of medicine as well as medical education. The faculty researchers at our institution also serve as dedicated mentors, fostering the next generation of clinicians and scientists by allowing our current medical and graduate students to participate in research projects.
