Welcome

The Mission of the Research Division is to promote excellence in scholarly activity, which furthers the ideals and values of Family Medicine in the areas of research, patient care, education, and community service, to improve the care of our patients through the benefit of research.

The Research Division was established within the Department of Family Medicine in 1990. Its major responsibilities are to conduct research and provide an array of research support services to faculty, residents, and medical students.
