About The Department
Vision
Larkin Health aspires to create a community built on Education, Research, Collaboration, and Innovation. To achieve this transformative goal, it is essential that clinical faculty, fellows, residents, and students engaged in research experiences employ a scholarly approach to teaching, clinical teamwork, and patient care.
Goal
The Department of Research and Academic Affairs at Larkin Community Hospital oversees the scholarly activities and initiatives associated with Medical Education. The department provides strategic leadership and administrative coordination to deliver short and long-term support to promote critical thinking and academic excellence in our medical programs and trainees. We are fully committed to fostering dynamic research education for the next generation of clinicians. We genuinely believe that the art of healing must be grounded in the pursuit of practice improvement by education and research advancement.
Mission
Our department mission is to foster programs that promote the interest of clinicians to conduct research, generate knowledge, and advance healthcare. We assist medical residents and fellows in:
- Developing skills for the formulation of scholarly work such as posters, presentations, review of literature, and quality improvement.
- Developing foundation skills for research inclusive of formulation of a research question, access to and analysis of data, review pertinent literature as well as prepare a well-organized research presentation, projects and posters.
- Promote the research and scholarly work of residents, fellows and faculty of Larkin Community Hospital.
- Work on Research Projects from conception through publication.

Team 11 Overview
As background, Team 11 was originally formed during the COVID pandemic and provided invaluable research opportunities during these unprecedented times when sharing of information was critical. As a result of the purpose and connection, the members wanted to stay together and formed the Global Research Collaboration Network.
Recognizing the value of the program, Global Research Collaboration Network, also known as Team 11, Larkin Community Hospital sponsors the program and integrated it into the Department of Research and Academic Affairs. The platform is open for everyone to bring forward any research topic and/or global health-related issues for review and is free of cost. Team 11 creates opportunities to carry out research projects at both the local and international levels. From its inception, we have had more than 1800 plus researchers worldwide, including medical students, medical graduates, residents, and fellows, and physicians with multiple successful publications who represent over 100 countries from every continent.
