Bhiken I. Naik MBBCh, MSCR
Vice Chair of Clinical Research

Welcome to Clinical Research in the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Virginia led by the Vice Chair Dr. Bhiken Naik, MBBCh, MSCR. Our work is a collaboration between physicians, clinical research coordinators, statisticians, bioinformaticist and data scientists. Our Clinical research spans both prospective clinical studies and retrospective, observational research.

We work across multiple disciplines and specialties to improve patient safety and identify quality improvement opportunities. We create and define objective metrics to evaluate  physician performance, and provide opportunities for cost effective and reproducible research.

Furthermore, the Division provides data support to administrative systems within the department and the institution. This includes a generation of reports on clinical practice and outcomes, dashboard maintenance at the departmental and institutional levels, and evaluation and benchmarking of educational activities (e.g. case listings for residents) and clinical workload (e.g. call distribution).
