Acute and Chronic Illness (Pain Management; Cardiovascular; Diabetes; Cancer; Sleep; Substance Use Disorders) and Maternal Child Health (Pregnancy Outcomes; Mother, Infant, Child and Family Health).
The school provides many interdisciplinary collaborative opportunities, including with colleagues in the Vanderbilt University Medical Center and other schools within Vanderbilt University.
