Active Research Areas
Trauma/Shock, asthma and pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance and obesity, as well as women's health, complementary and alternative medicine, mental health/adolescent suicide intervention, and international medicine are just a few of many research initiatives already under way through the UMKC School of Medicine and its affiliated partners.
Among the key clinical departments with active research agendas are Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine (Cardiology, Pulmonary Medicine, Neurology, Endocrinology), Obstetrics/Gynecology, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Infectious Disease, Pathology and Surgery. Active research is also ongoing in medical education.
The School's Basic Medical Science Department serves as a collaborative source to the clinical departments and their research efforts. The Shock/Trauma Center incorporates bench research within the BMS department, with its clinical component located at Truman Medical Center and at Saint Luke's Hospital in the departments of emergency medicine, surgery and orthopaedics. The endowed chair in lipid disorders coordinates his early stage research with Saint Luke's nationally recognized Mid America Heart Institute.
Cooperation with other UMKC professional schools, such as Nursing and Pharmacy, as well as amongst all clinical affiliates and the Kansas City Area Life Science Institute, the Stowers Institute and the Mid West Research Institute, provides additional opportunities for faculty and students. For example, there is an emerging strength in outcomes research which incorporates faculty from the School of Medicine, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Dentistry and the School of Computer Science and Engineering.
