Southeastern Research Center is a physician owned research site committed to excellence in providing clinical research services to both sponsors and volunteers. Our physicians, members of a 30 year old practice, have provided many years of research services to the area of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Because of our physician's level of involvement in community research projects, Southeastern Research Center was founded to provide a home base for all of our experienced staff to conduct research together. Our dedicated research staff and in-house quality assurance ensures efficient and accurate data collection. It is our goal to offer both new volunteers and prior study participants a comfortable and educated research experience.
The physicians of Southeastern Research Center are experienced Principal Investigators and Sub Investigators and are board certified in the areas of Pulmonary Medicine, Internal Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, and Sleep Medicine. Our doctors are very proactive in their efforts to further medical research. As well as conducting research, they strive to demonstrate diligence and achievement through active involvement in publishing articles and abstracts in prominent medical journals, participating in keynote speaking engagements, and giving presentations and lectures.
Southeastern Research Center investigators are board certified in the areas of Pulmonary Medicine, Internal Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, and Sleep Medicine. We also participate in a variety of research that enlists the expertise of other specialty and subspecialty physicians.
