Overview of Research
Department of Family Medicine and Community Health

The Department’s research program is built around a core of experienced, motivated researchers working on common themes that relate to the Department’s mission. Their nationally recognized work adds to the Department’s reputation as a leader in Family Medicine and Community Health. Our investigators’ mentorship of faculty encourages others to develop their research skills and to participate in research studies.

The Department’s investigators and growing research activities benefit from close collaborations with key partners including ForHealth Consulting, the Meyers Primary Care Institute, and the medical school’s recently established Department of Quantitative Health Science. We continue to enhance our approaches to research collaboration with community practices and partners to be bi-directional and responsive to community priorities.
