Research Activities in the Section
of General Internal Medicine
The Section of General Medicine is home to two active and highly successful
research programs, health services research, under the direction of
Drs. Marshall Chin and David Meltzer and medical ethics, under the direction
of Dr. Mark Siegler. Our nine research faculty (ranging in academic
rank from Instructor to Professor) have established highly productive
research careers, receiving funding from such agencies as the National
Institutes of Health, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality,
the Centers for Disease Control, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation,
the Charles E. Culpepper Foundation and other prestigious venues, and
publishing in the New England Journal of Medicine, the Journal of the
American Medical Association, the Journal of General Internal Medicine,
and other national and international publications.
In addition to their work within the Section, the research faculty
also collaborate broadly in related educational and research programs
offered throughout the institution and hold joint faculty appointments
in such areas as the Department of Health Studies, the Harris Graduate
School of Public Policy Studies, the Department of Sociology, the
Department of Economics, the Graduate Program in Health Administration
and Policy, and two NIA-supported Centers (the Center on Aging and
the Center on Demography and Economics of Aging). The research faculty
all play an important role in the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars
Program, either as Directors or as Core Faculty. |
