Baptist Health: Baptist Research Institute

Baptist Research Institute leads the region in clinical trial participation. We strive to provide our patients with the latest evidence-based treatments and preventive therapies. One of the ways we are able to foster medical advancements is through the many clinical trials under the direction of the Baptist Health Research Institute (BHRI).

BHRI is currently overseeing more than 50 clinical research studies in a wide range of areas. Our research institute has taken the lead on some of the first device trials, including those for the leadless pacemaker, absorbable stents, coils and stents used to treat brain aneurysms and robotic surgeries.

In addition to sponsor-initiated clinical trials, we also accommodate investigator-initiated trials. All of the research studies undertaken by BHRI must meet stringent requirements for patient safety and ethics. All studies are reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
