Welcome to the website of the Research Program in the Center for Family Medicine. Our office suite on the 12th floor of the Vanderbilt Clinic provides a central home for students, residents, staff and faculty interested in research in Family Medicine, Community Medicine, Public Health, and Health Services Research.

The research program ties together the research and scholarly efforts of the Center and nurtures the development of intradepartmental and collaborative efforts. The Center's faculty development programs, residency education in research methods, and the journal club are a function of the research program. The program directors work directly with the attendings, residents, and medical students to encourage the participation in research endeavors and foster the development of research ideas into viable research projects. The research faculty have expertise in both quantitative and qualitative methods and represent a wide range of research interests, such as, medical outcomes research, health services research, preventive health behaviors, medical services for the underserved and disenfranchised, HIV/AIDS, narrative ethics, and adolescent health issues.
