Baptist Health South Florida advances healthcare through leading-edge clinical trials and research

At Baptist Health South Florida, physician researchers are redefining how care is delivered by blending patient-centered service with groundbreaking medical research. With a strong focus on clinical trials, a key area of exploration includes orthopedics—where advances can have life-changing effects for patients. Baptist Health has established a robust academic and clinical affiliation with Florida International University to advance research from bench to bedside. In addition, it collaborates with Florida Atlantic University to further expand its research across South Florida.

Baptist Health Orthopedic Care has built one of the most comprehensive databases in the country, tracking outcomes from over 22,000 patients. Researchers use this resource to assess the effectiveness of various treatments and devices, including biologic implants and joint replacements. Collaborations with engineers are also helping uncover the reasons behind implant failure in shoulder replacements, with the goal of improving designs. Also, orthopedic researchers at Baptist Health are conducting studies on hand and wrist injuries, using biomechanics, AI and biologic implants to better understand fracture patterns and improve surgical techniques.
