Department Research

In the Department of Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation, under the leadership of Dr. Rosen and our full time faculty physicians, bringing industry-sponsored and investigator-initiated clinical studies to the Department have been a priority.  Clinical research plays a vital roll in the search for new treatments and potential cures as well as offering another avenue of treatment that our patients would otherwise not have had access to.
