Top 10 Medical Research Issues and Trends to Watch in 2016
There’s no doubt that it’s an exciting and transformative time
in healthcare, and the same is true for medical research! Recently, the
Huffington Post Blog released a piece on the “Top
10 Medical Research Issues and Trends to Watch in 2016.” I invite you to read the
quick article here.
What makes the list? Patient engagement and methods for
collecting and applying the “patient perspective” will be significant. Precision
Medicine will also be making news headlines in 2016. The state of the academic
workforce is in flux, and experts believe that this might be the year when young investigators break
out and we see some serious experimentation at academic institutions with
"the way we've always done things.” Finally, with the news of Mark Zuckerberg
donating 99 percent of his Facebook shares, currently valued at $45 billion, to
charity – the spotlight will shine bright on philanthropy and medical research!
I
enjoyed reading the list and found myself proud of the work we continue to do at
MedStar Health and the progress we are making
across many of the 2016 trends listed! At MedStar, we are capitalizing on being an Academic Health System at the cross-roads of real-life healthcare and a strong academic infrastructure to address so many of the things listed in this article.
