Vail Summit Research and Education Foundation

The foundation promotes medical Research. Currently, the foundation is conducting six clinical Research studies which have been approved by the local institutional review board (irb). The foundation is also involved in the implementation and utilization of a state-of-the art web-based clinical outcomes datebase that will enable users to collect patient-reported outcomes on orthopaedic treatments compiling and then analyzing patient data before and after receiving treatment for orthopaedic sports medicine injuries. This will make it possible for the foundation to examine outcomes in order to determine optimal treatment options. The foundation then plans to share its findings locally, nationally, and internationally through presentations at orthopaedic conferences and publications in peer-reviewed journals.
