Forefront of General Medicine Research
The Division of General Medicine supports a diverse research section, led by Dr. Edward R. Marcantonio, Section Chief for Research, and Dr. Kenneth J. Mukamal, Associate Section Chief for Research.
Our research mission is to conduct transformative research that employs creative and diverse approaches to address the most pressing issues in patient care and to maximize the health of our communities. We conduct this research within a collegial environment featuring award-winning mentorship and training.
The division is committed to research that improves healthcare quality and delivery and has ongoing initiatives in the areas of healthcare innovations and quality improvement. The division's investigations hold both clinical implications and relevance for public health and health services delivery — locally and nationwide.
The section for research consists of 18 core research faculty, 13 clinician-investigators, three epidemiologists, two biostatisticians and several adjunct research faculty. The division's current external total grant funding approximates $20 million annually.
