The Cardiovascular Research Department at Wilford Hall Medical Center was established in 1985. In 1996, we completed our 100th clinical trial. WHMC is a large teaching institution.
Services are available to all active duty personnel and their dependents.
The Cardiology Flight followed over 47,000 outpatients and 4600 inpatients in 1997. With nine staff cardiologists and twelve cardiology fellows, the fellowship program has strong research requirements and all are actively envolved in research projects. Much of our research has been conducted in conjunction with most of the major pharmaceutical companies. We can ensure success due to a history of rapid enrollment, highly compliant volunteers, and a proven track record conducting clinical trials for drugs and devices. Our research staff includes dedicated principal investigators from the WHMC Cardiology staff and two full time cardiovascular R.N. coordinators from the T.R.U.E. Research Foundation.
