California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute, under the scientific direction of Warren S. Browner, M.D., M.P.H., creates an active partnership between clinicians and researchers, merging research institute interests with the needs of the medical center. This combined effort improves health care delivery and patients benefit directly by increased access to pharmaceutical and other types of clinical trials. When associated with a research program, physicians have knowledge and access to more effective treatments and diagnostic technologies.
