Research Opportunities

Clinical research is an integral part of the Fellowship program. Fellows have access to a large comprehensive population-based database maintained by Kaiser Permanente.  This provides an exceptional opportunity to enable research studies related to epidemiology, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.  The Department of Research and Evaluation provides support with study design, programming, and statistics.  Fellows present their research findings at national conferences and publish in peer-reviewed journals.  The impact of research at Kaiser goes beyond conference presentation and scholarly publications.  Findings from our research are translated into clinical practice to improve the quality of clinical care delivered.
