Medical College of Wisconsin Department of Medicine Research
Our mission is to promote a culture of scientific inquiry, collaboration, and curiosity by bringing together clinicians and scientists from across multiple disciplines to engage in cutting-edge biomedical research that ultimately improves the health of our patients through the detection, prevention, and/or treatment of human disease. With research spanning a wide spectrum including basic, clinical, and translational research, as well as studies in population health, quality improvement, and medical education, we support an environment that enhances patient care and helps train the next generation of physicians and biomedical scientists to engage in innovative research that ultimately serves and benefits our community.

DOM Research Highlights
Research Retreat
Each year, the Department of Medicine hosts a Research Retreat as a way for faculty, learners, and staff to celebrate their research efforts across a spectrum that includes basic, clinical, and translational studies, as well as health services research, population studies, and projects in quality improvement and education. Over the years, this one-day event has included short talks, breakout sessions, poster presentations, and networking. We invite speakers from within the Medical College of Wisconsin, as well as an external Keynote Speaker, to present on their recent research findings. Our annual Research Retreat not only provides an opportunity to share and celebrate our hard work, but it also leads to collaboration and camaraderie.
