奥古斯塔大学's 乔治亚医学院 aims to create more of those “magic moments” through the 发现研究院 initiative, a program aimed at speeding up the process of turning research breakthroughs into medical treatments.
有两个研究所。 The James and Jean Culver 愿景 Discovery Institute addresses specific health issues facing Georgians and is line with one of the Medical College of Georgia’s thematic research priorities: 愿景 Science. It operates under a formal structure that encourages researchers and clinicians to collaborate on translational research. Another, the 教育 Discovery Institute, also uses a research-focused, multidisciplinary approach to improving medical education.
The Georgia Cancer Center, though not formally a part of the 发现研究院 initiative, fills the role of a “Cancer Discovery Institute” because it follows the multidisciplinary, translational-focused clinical research model used by the National Institutes of 健康’s National Cancer Institutes.
