Clinic Research: Growing and Thriving

Campbell Clinic Foundation staff administer and facilitate more than 150 clinical research studies each year, demonstrating Campbell’s unwavering commitment to innovation and patient well-being. Each Campbell Clinic Orthopaedic subspecialty team has staff who serve as principal investigators in physician-initiated studies, industry-sponsored clinical trials, multi-center research studies and collaborative study groups. Through this research, new treatments, techniques and insights are found to better serve patients.

Research activities also engage Campbell Clinic residents and fellows, medical students and industry and academic partners, further fostering collaboration and driving future strategies with a positive impact on patient outcomes.

Research results are shared with the world through presentations and posters at academic conferences, publications and industry outreach.

Thanks to robust industry and education partners, our Foundation teams are reducing pain, enhancing mobility and improving quality of life for orthopaedic patients everywhere.
