Scientists & physicians in #academicmedicine pioneer discoveries and innovations, bringing them from the laboratory bench to the patient bedside. The advances that come from this research, much of which is supported in part by federal agencies, lead to new cures, preventive interventions, diagnostics, and treatments for disease that improve the lives of millions of patients. At the AAMC, we guide our members to prepare a diverse medical research workforce and to champion an environment in which medical discovery can flourish. From foundational science to clinical applications, a strong commitment to discovery benefits people everywhere, and federal policies that promote a thriving national research agenda are key to this goal. https://ow.ly/lPHX50R5IBX #MedResearchMatters #BenchtoBedside #medschool #teachinghospital

The Power of Clinical Research: Science Shaping the Future! May 20th is celebrated as International Clinical Trials Day. This day commemorates James Lind, who is recognized for conducting the first controlled clinical trial in 1747. Lind's work laid the foundation for modern clinical research and demonstrated the importance of systematic testing in medical practice. By comparing the effects of different treatments on sailors suffering from scurvy, he established a scientific method that continues to guide clinical trials today. International Clinical Trials Day aims to highlight the crucial role of clinical research in advancing medical knowledge and improving patient care. It underscores the importance of clinical trials in developing new treatments, medications, and health technologies. By raising awareness, the day seeks to inform the public about the benefits and processes of clinical research, promoting greater understanding and participation in clinical trials. Additionally, this day is an opportunity to recognize and appreciate the contributions of patients who participate in clinical trials, as well as the healthcare professionals and researchers who conduct these studies. Events and seminars held worldwide on this day focus on educating the public about the ethical standards, safety protocols, and significance of clinical trials in bringing innovative healthcare solutions to the market. #ClinicalTrialsDay #WorldClinicalTrialsDay #ClinicalResearch #MedicalResearch #JamesLind #InnovativeHealthcare #MedicalAdvancements #ClinicalTrials #ResearchMatters #HealthcareInnovation #PatientCare #ClinicalStudies #HealthResearch #Fibula #FibulaHEALTH #FibulaCRO #FibulaResearch

Thank you Boston Globe Media and American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) a key question: (shortened for space/context) American Pharmacists Association Q. You’re going to be starting as the dean of the College of Pharmacy in January. What are some of your goals? A. I have a vision for the future of the profession, and not just in Rhode Island. Pharmacists are medication experts and medication facilitators - they should have provider status. We have six years of training, you get a doctor of pharmacy - and should be the health care professionals that directly manage patients that are on multiple 13, 14 15 medications. There’s a shortage of primary care physicians /nurse practitioners / PAs out there and they need help managing patients. With multiple medications, there are a lot of drug interactions that should to be managed directly by a pharmacist, and they should be reimbursed for their services and time. Q. Why can’t pharmacists be considered providers right now? A. The American Medical Association has fought proposed federal regulation to block us from taking that role. [As an industry], we’re trying really hard to take that resolution away, but the lobbying is a problem. Breaking through those barriers, politically, is a challenge.
