Dr. Victor Dzau has developed a new model for academic medicine in the 21st Century. In this model, organizational infrastructure supports seamless translation from basic science discoveries to clinical application as well as from clinical trials to advances in health care in communities around the globe. Furthermore, public-private partnerships enable delivery of clinical advances and allow bi-directional service-learning and globalization.
This “Innovation-Care Continuum” model will enable academic health centers to fulfill what Dr. Dzau believes is their responsibility to transform medicine and to address health disparities through innovation and globalization.
You can read more about the “Academic Health Center of the Future” and how it is being created at Duke in slides and text from a selection of presentations Dr. Dzau has given on the topic.
