 Introduction |
| |
| |
The Department of Family Medicine is internationally recognized for its community-based and primary care research programs, with our faculty involved in investigator-initiated and as collaborators in interdisciplinary research. Our research vision is to develop and sustain a nurturing and productive environment that fosters independent researchers as well as collaborative teams for addressing clinical and methodological issues in primary care community-based research.
Our projects usually are conducted by one of three research teams. Community-based research is carried out by the Center for Primary Care Community Based Research headed by Dr. Jeannette E. South-Paul. Community immunization projects are carried out by the immunization research team , headed by Dr. Richard K. Zimmerman. Each of the ongoing projects focuses on barriers to care and the health and healthcare disparities that result. The successful community-oriented projects result from an infrastructure that embraces the community interests, identifies and cooperates with community leaders, and targets conditions that plague the most underserved in our region. |
