How to encourage translational research among our peers? The Collaborative Research Network. #364

Is it possible to support small, individual clinicians with an interest for research, while also encouraging collaborative research from major medical centers and teaching hospitals? These topics and others are explored on this episode of the AMSSM Sports Medcast. Host Dr. Devin McFadden, MD is joined by a panel which includes Dr. Anthony Beutler, MD, Dr. Andrew Peterson, MD, and Dr. Stephanie Kliethermes, PhD who help form a portion of the AMSSM’s Collaborative Research Network leadership. They cover the history of this organization from inception to present day, and discuss the challenges and strategic issues which the organization has faced in its brief existence to date.
