Programs

The Clinical Research Building will be a model facility at the School of Medicine integrating education, patient care and research. Programs that will occupy this facility are pioneering, collaborative and successful and address health care challenges from prenatal, infant and adolescent care to healthy aging.

These programs include:

• The Center for Research in Medical Education pioneers simulation, computer-based education and hands-on skills training for medical students, physicians, nurses, paramedics and firefighters. Harvey, a cardiology patient simulator is used by more than 250 medical centers and agencies worldwide. The Center and its director, Dr. Michael Gordon, have received numerous national awards for educational excellence, including recognition from the American College of Cardiology and the American Medical Association.
• The Early Intervention Program is a multipurpose developmental evaluation and intervention program that serves more than 25% of all the high-risk infants in Florida. More than 2,000 families are enrolled in the program, which integrates health care, social work, physical and speech therapy, psychology and education.
• The Perinatal Addiction Research and Education Program serves indigent, high-risk infants and their families by enhancing caregiver-infant bonding, positive parenting, family social support and comprehensive pediatric health care, and by minimizing "psychosocial risks" such as chronic maternal substance abuse and exposure to violence.
• The Center for Family Studies has developed treatment and prevention programs for adolescent drug abuse, delinquency and other conduct and disruptive problem behaviors. This groundbreaking program has earned recognition from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the World Health Organization for its prevention and treatment approaches that increase the quality of family involvement in all phases of children's and adolescent's lives.
• The Center for Aging aims to gain a better understanding of aging and develop solutions to promote healthy living. An interdisciplinary program involving the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Architecture and Business, as well as the Colleges of Arts & Sciences and Engineering, the Center for Aging conducts research on Alzheimer's disease, cancer, genetics and immunology and provides patient care and education on a wide array of lifestyle issues, such as exercise and nutrition, environmental designs for better home environments, mobility and pain management.
