Research

Our college provides opportunities for medical students in basic, clinical, education and population science research. Our strategic research initiatives seek to generate and advance medically relevant knowledge that improves health outcomes in the local community and beyond.

Laboratory-based research is increasingly becoming an integral part of medical training, with discoveries rapidly translated into applications for patient care. At the same time, insights from clinical observations and human tissues inform the development of more accurate laboratory disease models. This bi-directional activity—translational research—is emerging as a critical function in the community care setting, especially in South Florida.
