Graduate Research and Publications
The University of South Florida makes research a priority, placing in the top 25 research universities nationwide. USF supports their staff and students to discover the unknown through research. The Performing Arts Medicine Association Collaborative cultivates this need for research by supporting inter-professional research, as well as graduate research.
USF-PAMC has several research collaborative groups currently in place and active. Collectively, they have presented numerous papers at conferences and published several articles in national and international journals, e.g., Medical Problems of Performing Artists, European Journal of Integrative Medicine. The conference research presentations is culminating into a separate book, Perspectives in Performing Arts Medicine: A Multidisciplinary Approach by Springer Publications, inc. to be published early in 2020.
