Overview of the Division of Population Health Sciences
The Division of Division of Population Health Sciences was created in 2006 to expand the breadth of the Practice-based Research Division, and to emphasize the translational component of our research, which focuses on improving the health of populations beyond the academic medical center, in primary care clinical offices and in the community itself. With the merger of the Department of Community Medicine and Center for Health Effectiveness Research into the Family Medicine, our areas of expertise and research interests have broadened. Yet, as a group, we remain committed to addressing health disparities among the diverse racial/ethnic and socioeconomic populations of southeast Michigan . Our objectives are to: 1) investigate methods of translating research findings into better care for our patients and communities, and 2) ascertain and establish the evidence for the care we provide. To that end, we continue to build MetroNet, a successful practice-based research network in metropolitan Detroit that focuses on the health disparities of our region. We welcome collaborations within and outside the university community to assist us in fulfilling our mission.
