Family Medicine Research at the Forefront
Advancement, opportunity, and collaboration describe the research and scholarship efforts in the Ohio State University Department of Family Medicine. Our faculty members are engaged in a broad range of multidisciplinary efforts to bolster advances in the practice, the teaching, and the research of family medicine. Our successes are demonstrated by professional presentations, publications, and grant support.
Consider that:
- Our faculty's involvement in clinical research through the Ohio State Primary Care Practice-Based Research Network (OSU-PCPBRN) promises to advance knowledge about many aspects of primary care, for example, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, seasonal affective disorder, diabetes, etc. The OSU-PCPBRN includes the Department of Family Medicine practices, General Internal Medicine clinics, Children's Hospital Close-to-Home health centers, and the Columbus Neighborhood Health Centers.
- Investigator-initiated research drives the Department toward its goal of being a nationally and internationally recognized leader in research and scholarship.
- Educational initiatives and research continue to produce state-of-the-art curriculum, teaching strategies, and learning techniques that advance medical education at many levels: medical student education, residency training, and continuing medical education.
