CENTER FOR GENERAL PRACTICE AT AALBORG UNIVERSITY
At Center for General Practice (CAM AAU), we have an interdisciplinary academic environment where our research focuses on improving general practice. We facilitate research-based teaching and training for general practice. We have several research domains relevant to general practice, but our main focus areas are musculoskeletal problems across the life span; the application of new technology in general practice; the use of antibiotics; and chronic diseases (such as diabetes and metabolic disorders) and their treatment. In addition, we investigate how to secure the implementation and effective translation of our research. We are involved in conducting teaching and supervision at several departments at AAU, primarily at the programs for medicine at bachelor and master’s levels.
Organization and Collaboration
The Center for General Practice at Aalborg University was established in 2015 as a collaboration between The Research Unit for General Practice in Aalborg, The Danish Research Foundation for General Practice, and The Department of Clinical Medicine, Aalborg University.
We develop our research in collaboration with general practitioners, but also with other health care professionals including medical specialists, private practicing physiotherapists, in addition to the regional and municipal health care authorites. We collaborate with foreign and domestic research environments/educational institutions, as well as the three research units for general practice located in Aarhus, Copenhagen (in Danish) and Odense.
