| Description | Journal: Anesthesiology THIS issue of ANESTHESIOLOGY celebrates another pioneer department in our specialty, that at Washington University. The goal of this series is to highlight and understand how a culture of excellence in research has been instilled in a department using different approaches in markedly different settings. A year ago, Lars Eriksson described how such a culture was created among mostly physician scientists at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, in an environment of socialized medicine.1 Now, Alex Evers and William Owens describe how this happened at Washington University, a private medical center in a competitive, fee-based system with a healthy mix of PhD and physician scientists. Many articles from the Karolinska Institutet were clearly translational, with obvious clinical application. Many articles from Washington University are more fundamental, leaving many of us to scratch our heads after reading their titles. In both cases, they reflect a vibrant research community. When Dr. Evers became chairman of the department at Washington University, he created a design to be used for neckties given to visitors. I hear in those Zs a powerful engine of scientific advance, not a boring academic exercise. |
