Clinical research is vital to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) mission of enhancing health, lengthening life, and reducing the burdens of illness and disability. For instance, through clinical research we gain insights and answers about the safety and effectiveness of drugs and other therapies.
Why should clinicians do research?
Research helps create good doctors because they are better able to critically evaluate new evidence and provide the best patient care with the latest knowledge. ... “Physicians experienced in research will be able design high quality patient safety and quality improvement studies in their own practices in the future.”
What kinds of research do clinicians need?
- Treatment Research generally involves an intervention such as medication, psychotherapy, new devices, or new approaches to surgery or radiation therapy.
- Prevention Research looks for better ways to prevent disorders from developing or returning.
