Can we keep the 'academic' in academic medicine? 2009 American Society for Clinical Investigation Presidential Address.

摘要

Good afternoon, and thank you for coming to the 101st meeting of the American Society for Clinical Investigation.Today I want to talk about where our first century of advocacy for academic medicine has brought us. But rather than highlight the remarkable history of achievement in biomedical research over this period, I want to focus on legacy systems that now threaten the research mission of academic medical centers. We classically think of academic medicine as having three pillars - education, research and clinical care.
