Division of Research

Research is an important part of the Scott & White mission to "provide personalized, comprehensive, high-quality health care enhanced by medical education and research." The results of studies lead directly to improved patient care and serve as intellectual rewards for the investigators and their colleagues.

Although research at Scott & White is a result of its patient care mission and clinical practice heritage, basic laboratory research with potential clinical relevance is also encouraged and supported, especially when conducted in collaboration with Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine basic science faculty colleagues.

Recent efforts to expand and enlarge Scott & White's research program have been focused in key areas in which the institution can exert a significant impact on the practice of medicine. Areas receiving emphasis include cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, imaging, metabolism, neuroscience, oncology, toxicology and women's health.

Early Career Research Experiences Program

Scott & White is sponsoring an Early Career Research Experiences Program. The program is a 10-week summer training program for students interested in careers that include health science research.

Clinical Trials

The Division of Research is interested in serving potential research subjects as well as potential investigators. Clinical Trials are being conducted at Scott & White in many different disciplines. Those interested in conducting research at Scott & White can contact Iris Anderson to receive information regarding the application process.

IRIS - Integrated Research Information System

The Department of Research maintains a web-based application, IRIS™ - (Integrated Research Information System), designed to help create, manage and process Scott & White's institutional research protocols. IRIS is password protected and security-driven for privacy, serves as a repository for an individual's science projects and allows for online submissions.
