Research in the School

Internationally renowned scientists at the School of Allied Health are collaborating with researchers in other schools at KU and other universities both here and abroad. The allied health professions in general have historically lacked the scientific evidence to base their clinical practice; therefore, our goal within the School is to increase the scientific-based evidence and thus improve clinical outcomes.

In a new bi-state initiative, the University of Kansas Medical Center is collaborating with the scientific community in the greater Kansas City metropolitan area to increase investment in life sciences research. This vision for the future includes the work of talented researchers from all of the health professions and the basic sciences. Laboratory science with clinical and translational progress is the priority for national and regional commitment of resources to biomedical research. It is critical that we are able to translate new knowledge rapidly into tangible benefits for patients and families.

MSP ProgramPreparing Diverse Healthcare Leaders
