Facilities

The Clinical Research Center's clinic is housed on the first floor of the EVMS Jones Institute. Clinical facilities include consultation rooms, examining rooms, a work station for collecting and processing specimens, and a clinical laboratory with the capability to perform a wide range of endocrine testing. Also available within the center are routing gynecologic examinations (Pap smears, endometrial biopsies, and colposcopies), transvaginal ultrasounds, and bone densitometry evaluations.

Research equipment includes a Hologic QDR 1500 bone densitometer for lumbar spine, hip, and forearm bone scans, two General Electric RT 3200 ultrasound units with abdominal and vaginal probes, and vaginal colposcopy equipment. Video monitoring and recording are available for both ultrasound and colposcopy procedures.

The CRC has developed a central data-base of more than 10,000 potential volunteers who have indicated an interest in or participated in clinical trials. Consultants in epidemiology and biostatistics are available to aid in study design, implementation and data analysis. Ancillary facilities on the EVMS campus provide evaluation and collaboration in other medical disciplines. Two modern multi-specialty hospitals are located in the medical complex and are available for consultation and support services.
