Industry Relationships
As our name suggests, our providers and employees are actively involved in clinical care, education, and orthopedic research. Because of our mission, we focus our recruitment efforts on physicians who have superior academic and clinical training, and who also are actively involved in orthopedic research and education directed at advancing orthopedic surgery and improving patient outcomes. Information about our physicians’ education, training and experience can be accessed at www.thecoreinstitute.com.
Because of the qualifications of our physicians and other professionals, we often are approached by companies involved in or related to the improvement of the healthcare outcomes, processes, management in the healthcare industry and/or development of medical devices, instruments, and related equipment. Many of these companies know that our physicians have invaluable hands-on experience in the treatment of orthopedic problems, and that orthopedic surgeons frequently make important contributions to the development and improvement of devices and other equipment used in the treatment of orthopedic conditions. Surgeons and researchers at The CORE Institute are currently working with various companies, both large and very small, to help them create and improve products for patient care. We also have developed and patented products of our own that we have and/or will license or sell to industry.
Although CORE physicians donate a great deal of their time to the advancement of orthopedic research and education, they also enter into contracts that provide payment for some of their efforts and/or have an indirect ownership interest in certain industry companies. All these transactions are compliant with all federal and state laws. The following is a current list of the CORE physicians who have contractual relationships or ownership interests (direct or indirect) with other healthcare related industry companies:
