Research at the Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center (1953 - 2005)

Research has been a major factor at the Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center since the inception in 1953. This book details these activities. The primary focus is on the investigators, describing the nature of their research and their involvement in patient care activities. A number of these individuals have made major contributions to research, not only at the VA, but at Duke University Medical Center and at a number of other academic institutions.
