Industry Sponsored Research

The Vancouver Island Health Research Centre has established the necessary infrastructure to support local Physicians/Investigators in their performance of both industry-sponsored in-patient and out patient trials, along with providing support for academic/original research projects.

We currently have a number of active trials in the areas of pediatrics, ophthalmology, psychiatry, neurology, endocrinology, surgery, gastroenterology and intensive care and have many studies in the preliminary stages of review and approval.

Through the interest indicated by various physicians coupled with the establishing of the Island Medical Program, we are anticipating significant growth.  We welcome the opportunity to work with any interested physicians or allied health personnel in the performance of medical research.

VIHA encourages clinical research by "supporting advancements in health by seeking, facilitating and promoting learning, research and education."
