Lauren shares a conversation with Jeff Neumann. A researcher at heart, Jeff talks about what research means for clinicians, the NTMRI (North Texas Medical Research Institute) research projects, and the importance of data in research and patient care.
As healthcare evolves and advances, research plays an increasingly critical role in improving patient outcomes. Clinicians across various medical fields understand that staying on the cutting edge of new discoveries and advancements can be the key to providing the highest quality care to their patients. For them, data is king, and the more they can learn from it, the better equipped they are to tackle new challenges and improve patient outcomes.
In this episode, Lauren shares a conversation with Jeff Neumann. A researcher at heart, Jeff talks about what research means for clinicians, the NTMRI (North Texas Medical Research Institute) research projects, and the importance of data in research and patient care.
Jeff Neumann's interests are deep set in research, both for clinical and benchwork. He has been a clinical coordinator on multiple studies ranging from academic/single investigator studies to NIH granted studies, including device and drug studies. As one of the Founding Members and CEO of North Texas Medical Research Institute (NTMRI), Jeff hopes that this invaluable experience as a lead coordinator and as a clinical leader in his role as a PA will help guide NTMRI to be a part of something greater and positively contribute to our overall medical knowledge base.
