| Engineering the Clinical Research Enterprise in a Multi-institutional and Multidisciplinary Environment | ||||||||
Sponsored by: Plenary | ||||||||
| Description: Modern clinical research is reaching well beyond the confines of traditional health care disciplines to incorporate multidisciplinary perspectives, and in the process, reshaping approaches to disease and treatment. Yet creating a workable academic and community-based multi-institutional infrastructure to facilitate such perspectives is a great challenge. This session will present the view of the medical center in developing a modern clinical research enterprise that assures a synergy created by cooperation and involvement across health care disciplines. A key question of such integration is: how do we effectively merge the interests and activities of those medical disciplines with long histories of high level clinical research investigation with other health science fields, such as oral health, in which clinical research expertise and infrastructure are less well developed? | ||||||||
