چکیده
The role that academic medicine has to play in a medical career has been a hotly debated topic over the last two decades. A number of initiatives have been proposed to increase the number of clinical academics, the quality of research undertaken and to preserve research in a NHS driven by service provision. These initiatives have generated discussion, solved some issues, but left a number of ongoing problems unanswered.

Many believe that in...

متن کاملPositioning a medical school for modern biomedical research: the department of genome sciences at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
The availability of genome sequences from a multitude of organisms, which began about a decade ago, has had enormous impact throughout the biomedical sciences. These sequence data have changed the way research studies are carried out and have led to the explosive growth of computational biology as an approach to analyze biological processes and evolution. In medicine, the completion of the huma...
