The Need for Arthroplasty Research Persists Beyond Where We Are in 2024
By Concordia Connection Staff Writer
Orthopaedic Research at Concordia is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of how medicine improves the lives of people suffering from joint pain, poor joint function, and limited mobility.
Our research directly translates into patient care, which helps us meet our patients’ growing needs while invigorating the community, growing Manitoba’s economy, and advancing orthopaedic care globally.
The need for arthroplasty research will persist beyond where we are now. New technologies, procedures, devices, care delivery methods, and external pressures such as regulatory changes and patient expectations will emerge as joint replacement volumes grow, and patients live longer and more active lives.
Our mission is to meet and address these new challenges with science by developing data and evidence to inform our best practices and implement them into Concordia care.
One of our primary focus areas is nurturing the next generation of researchers. We are proud to have a talented group of individuals under 30 who have shown exceptional dedication and talent in their chosen career paths. Their commitment is truly inspiring and bodes well for the future of orthopaedic research.
Our next-gen healthcare researchers are flexible, innovative, and dedicated to enhancing health outcomes for individuals and communities worldwide. They consistently demonstrate their ability to use interdisciplinary collaboration, cutting-edge technology, and ethical principles to tackle the evolving challenges and opportunities to improve patient outcomes.
The development of the next generation of healthcare researchers is not only necessary but also a source of hope for advancing medical knowledge, addressing complex health issues, promoting health equity, utilizing technological advancements, preparing for future health threats, ensuring ethical research conduct, and driving economic growth and innovation in the healthcare sector.
