Looking Ahead

Author
VP Jakub Tolar, MD, PhD

As we enter the halfway point of the academic year and the start of 2024, we've already accomplished a great deal.

In the next six months, let’s work together to fully implement the new vision of the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) to find better, faster ways to bring scientific advances to real-world use. As one of the largest, most comprehensive academic health centers in the U.S., we have phenomenal resources available to us.

With our six health sciences schools, interdisciplinary centers, and affiliated programs, we have unique opportunities to explore interprofessional health care models and ensure that patients receive the highest-quality care. Beyond that, we have an entire University where we can find and bring value, and a state full of communities with which to partner. OACA is here to help with that. We can help you make new connections and create support infrastructure for partnerships in clinical research and training.

This year, let’s look beyond the usual to explore new collaborations in research, education, and clinical care. Whether community-based or international in scope, our work comes together to improve health in many ways–access to care, quality of care, and improvement of quality of life across our many fields of expertise and service.

Martha DeMeules:  I'm continually impressed by the unique insights my interprofessional colleagues provide about not only their field but mine as well
