Writing the Next Chapter of Medical Innovation Together

Opening remarks from Doris Duke Foundation President & CEO Sam Gill.
For the past quarter century, the Doris Duke Foundation has supported physician scientists because we believe that they are critical to solving some of the world’s most complex medical challenges. To mark this occasion, we convened all past recipients of the Clinical Scientist Development Award to celebrate their achievements and invited attendees to join us in reflecting on the future of innovation in medicine. We believe that it’s time to strengthen new funding pathways for visionary physician scientists to pursue every avenue of research that will save and improve lives. This is anchored in the conviction that to impact clinical outcomes, we need innovation on many fronts, the dedication of many to mentoring and the cultivation of promising ideas.
