Research

Carilion Clinic specializes in patient-centered care, medical education and research. Our research consists of both clinical and now expanding bench research in step with the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine (VTCSOM). The ultimate goal is to provide the best possible health care outcome and health care experience for our patients.

Carilion Clinic continues to grow in research with more than 1,255 patients enrolled in over 100 clinical trials. The clinical trials are important in bringing investigational and state of the art medical treatment to patients in Southwest Virginia. Clinical trials are currently available to patients with cardiac, hematologic, oncologic, neurological, pulmonary, psychiatric and rheumatologic illnesses. A multi-use basic science laboratory is available to researchers at Carilion Roanoke Community Hospital. Growing research interest has been fostered with the opening of the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC, located adjacent to VTCSOM. Fellows are expected to take part in medical research during their fellowship and collaborate with the rheumatology research coordinator.
