The SIU General Surgery has a long tradition of nationally and internationally recognized research in the field of surgical education. Recent projects have focused on team based learning and handoff skills, cognitive task analysis of surgical and endoscopic procedures, surgical skills development, operative performance evaluation, and the identification, classification, and remediation of learning deficiencies. Projects in development currently include those focused on web based tools and electronic gaming in resident education and resident selection, and studies exploring surgery-specific

A Key Part of the Mission Research, along with education, patient care and service to the community, is a key part of our mission. At SIU School of Medicine, research includes biologically oriented studies as well as studies related to the cultural and behavioral aspects of medicine, methods for the delivery of health care and the medical education process. Our early research efforts focused primarily on medical school curriculum design, delivery and evaluation. Subsequent areas of clinical research strength included neuropsychopharmacology, including Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, auditory

Our Projects The Department of Population Science and Policy is currently researching a variety of rural health disparities, with community based social innovation initiatives, investigator-initiated studies, as well as externally funded local, state and federal research projects, grants and contracts. The Department is focused on three major research priorities –children’s health disparities; cancer health disparities; and other projects of interest, including opioid abuse, respiratory health and sexually transmitted infections. With all of our projects, the Department seeks to understand the

Discovery research and clinical trials at the Simmons Cancer Institute at SIU provides the novel findings in cancer biology which will translate to better detection, treatment, and prevention options in the future. Research efforts are revealing fresh aspects in cellular and molecular mechanisms promoting tumor growth and metastases, new biomarkers for earlier detection and monitoring of therapeutic interventions, innovative agents and approaches for the treatment and prevention of cancer growth and proliferation. Simmons Cancer Institute research members performing these discovery-based

SIU School of Medicine is dedicated to discovery-based, cutting-edge research that contributes to innovative advances in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of medical diseases. The pursuit of these advances requires significant financial support for reagents and equipment to perform the experiments. In addition, the promise for future medical advances relies on the training of our next generations of biomedical researchers. Your financial support will help our scientists continue to provide the hope that research brings for current and future patients – every gift makes a difference

Research is an important aspect of residency training. The ability to develop a focused research question, review past literature on the subject, structure a protocol for data collection, and evaluate the results of a study, are skills that help advance one's understanding of their field. Quality improvement is a practical application of the research method used to improve patient care and outcomes. Involvement in quality improvement projects is not only required for continued board certification, but is also an important aspect of emergency department operations and administration. Here at

Here you will find a description of research projects currently ongoing at the Play Lab, as well as projects that were previously completed. For presentations and publications from these studies, see Publications .​ Ongoing: ​ Genetic Influences on Early Cognitive Development: Early cognitive development, such as ability to conserve, engage in fantasy, and group similar objects, is studied in 1- to 4-year-old twins. Twins are tested within a month of their birthdays in the play lab. This is a longitudinal study, with twins being tested every year from age 1 (or as early as we can recruit them)
