2022 Menzies Health Institute Queensland Lecture Series
Presenter: Professor Stephen M. Jane
Title: Integration of Research into the Health System
Seminar Overview -
Establishment of Academic Health Centres is dependent on the integration of Hospital and University interests. Using the Alfred Health/Monash University partnership as the paradigm, Professor Jane will discuss the evolution of this relationship, and how it has culminated in substantial growth in research, commercial and philanthropic funding, physician-scientist training, clinical trial activity and academic leadership within the hospital corridors. Central to these outcomes has been shared investment, conjoint appointments, oversight of hospital clinical trial activity by the University, provision of protected research time and other mutually beneficial programs. The advantages of these programs to both organisations will be outlined.
