Research
Research plays a key role at Epworth HealthCare, and staff and doctors contribute to projects in Australia and around the globe. In 2009 the Victor Smorgon Epworth Education & Research Institute was established through the generous donation from the Victor Smorgon Charitable Fund. Research activity at Epworth is supported by the Clinical Institutes, the Victor Smorgon Epworth Education and Research Institute, the Epworth Prostate Cancer Research Centre and the Clinical Trials and Research Centre.
Education and Training
Epworth is evolving to a full teaching hospital by building the resources and facilities to educate the current and future clinical workforce. This will improve the quality of care and outcomes for patients.
