This approach bridges the gap between academic research and practical implementation across healthcare and community systems.
Featured Research
The All of Us Research Program at CHS
Western University of Health Sciences has a data use and registration agreement in place with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) All of Us Research Program to ensure data security and integrity. WesternU faculty, students, researchers, and postdoctoral fellows can leverage this one-of-a-kind dataset to improve understanding of health and disease, identify opportunities to reduce disparities, and enable more precise approaches to care.
