Vice-Chair for 研究
The Division of 研究 and Academic Development (RAD) in the Department of Family Medicine at SUNY 推荐最近最火的赌博软件 Medical University focuses broadly on the concepts of research, 学者, and development.
Historically, the RAD worked closely with the Department of Public Health & Preventive Medicine 在推荐最近最火的赌博软件, given joint appointments of research faculty across the two departments, and the deployment of MPH and MD/MPH students on Family Medicine research and quality improvement projects.
In 2016, the Vice-Chair for 研究, Dr. Morley, was tapped to serve as interim chair of the Department of Public Health & Preventive Medicine, and appointed as permanent chair in 2017. Since that time, the RAD has shifted focus to become a collaborative venture between the Departments of Family Medicine and Public Health & Preventive Medicine, with Dr. Morley retaining the Vice-Chair role within Family Medicine.
This arrangement has led to new partnerships, particularly around the development of a new Family Medicine Residency Program 在推荐最近最火的赌博软件, with a focus on academic scholarship and the incorporation of a public health certificate option. As the new residency program begins operation, scholarly activity within that residency will be a joint venture between the two departments.
