Advancing IDD Healthcare Through Research & Data

RESEARCH & DATA

Sharing our clinical success with the global health community

Patient-centered research is a remarkably effective tool in helping doctors to improve their clinical orientation and in eliminating obstacles to delivering a high-quality standard of care. By sharing clinical successes with the global medical and dental community via scientific presentations and peer-reviewed monographs, the Kramer Davis clinic helps to improve the health of people with IDD everywhere.

Improving the health & well-being of people with IDD everywhere through sharing clinical success.

We use patient-centered research as a tool in helping us solve the clinical problems, which act as obstacles to delivering this quality standard of care. And, by sharing our clinical successes with the global medical and dental community via the scientific presentations and peer-reviewed monographs we publish, we can also help to improve the health of people with IDD everywhere.

Doctors and students have come from around the world to work with the Kramer Davis research mentors. Multiple research monographs and textbook chapters produced by our leadership have been published throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan. Research projects developed for the clinic program are modeled after and built upon work done by the Kramer Davis leadership in the academic and research arena.
