The VCU Medical Center Clinical Research Unit is a seven bed outpatient unit with overnight capacity located on the eighth floor of North Hospital. The 10,000-square-foot unit provides VCU Health clinicians with the physical space and support necessary to conduct clinical research.
It is staffed by experienced interdisciplinary nurses and technicians who are specially trained to carry out clinical research studies within a culture of patient safety, quality, and compliance. A large selection of procedural and laboratory services are available for investigators to conduct investigator-initiated and industry studies.
