scientists <strong>and</strong> clinicians, detect osteoarthritis at an early stage, treat bone <strong>and</strong> joint problems with more effective surgical solutions, including<br />

minimally invasive surgeries, evaluate the impact, effectiveness <strong>and</strong> costs of novel interventions, translate research that is relevant,<br />

effective <strong>and</strong> sustainable into programs, practices <strong>and</strong> policies through knowledge integration.<br />

CHHM brings together researchers from a wide range of disciplines to investigate <strong>and</strong> treat hip fractures <strong>and</strong> osteoarthritis, <strong>and</strong> create<br />

new surgical solutions<br />

• Knowledge Translation<br />

DDSC trains undergraduate medical students to have a grounding <strong>and</strong> basic training in Dermatology through the Undergraduate Program,<br />

while graduate medical students are trained to become fully licensed Dermatologists in our Postgraduate Program for residents.<br />

DDSC Research involves research through the <strong>Clinical</strong> <strong>Trials</strong> Unit <strong>and</strong> our five specialized laboratories:<br />

• Skin Cancer Biology Laboratory<br />

• Photomedicine <strong>and</strong> Optics Laboratory<br />

• Hair Research Laboratory<br />

• Immunodermatology Laboratory<br />

• Laboratory of Predictive Medicine <strong>and</strong> Therapeutics<br />

By analyzing the needs of the community, DDSC design research projects to address those needs. The output of DDSC research is new<br />

knowledge, new drugs, new techniques, new patents, <strong>and</strong> more – DDSC take this information back to our clinical settings to help <strong>and</strong><br />

treat out patients.<br />
