Welcome to the Center of Evidence-Based Medicine
The Center of Evidence-based Medicine and Health Outcomes Research was established in 2008 as a part of the College of Medicine. Academically, the center has also been designated as Division of Internal Medicine. The center is actively involved in interdisciplinary activities including clinical medicine, decision science and decision support systems, information collection of researchers including medical doctors, psychologists, biostatisticians, and engineers. The Center currently employs 16 people (7 faculty, 6 research staff, and 3 administrative specialists). The center also includes a number of external members from industry, academia, and healthcare providers (hospitals, clinics, etc.).
The center is strategically positioned in such a way that represents a natural link between the data generated in institutional clinical research, biomedical literature, and practice-based research networks. In addition, a secondary role of the center is to assist with the development of evidence in an effort to improve clinical decisions, ethical/IRB, policy-decisions and decisions aimed to improve health of populations. It is also an integral part of education of a new cadre of researchers and clinical studies.
