Clinical Academic Environment
Support for the clinical academic environment created by Dartmouth Medical School and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center sustains physicians who perform the invaluable multiple roles of care-provider, teacher, and researcher. Such physician researchers provide patients with an exceptionally well-informed approach to diagnosis and treatment, ensuring the latest discoveries and therapies reach patients quickly.
The Case
Changes in the way the nation's health care is funded limits the ability of faculty at academic medical centers such as ours to sustain the combined missions of teaching, research, and patient care yet we are at the forefront of developing new knowledge and caring for many of the poorest members of our society.
