Integration Science Program for Medicine, Nursing, Technology & Public Health

Design & Rationale of the Program

Design & Rationale of the Program

FOUNDATIONS: In the 90s, working in a community educational polyclinic and in a clinical research center, some integration science projects of research, research training, research & research training center, and research partnership N-S, have been developed in isolation, without partners and funds in Cuba and not even in overseas.

The projects are innovative and uncommon, speculative and venture. They cannot impact immediately health and economy, but they will influence mediately increasing health and savings. Together they structure the beginning of a new unfamiliar kind of international collaborative scientific program for the 21-century.

On the basis of the results of a 36-year scientific meta-research on experimental, clinical, nursing, technological, epidemiological & public health sciences progress, it was designed undertaking the framework of the 2nd half of the 2nd millennium growing tendency to the differentiation science programs too.

OBJECTIVE: To start the integration of the results of the common differentiation science programs of medicine, nursing, technology & public health up-to-date, and to complement them with the most general results

DESIGN: Sixteen unconventional projects: nine of research, four of research training, one of a research-training centre with both physical & virtual modalities, and two of research networking, one between the South and the North, and one amog all levels of health care research & industrial research composed the program. Special developments on scientific discovery rational scientific methods of the physical & mathematical sciences, will be adapted & used along with the common empirical & statistical ones. The material objects of investigation will be the crucial scientific information accumulated in libraries and in Internet databases, handled with high tech. communication.

SETTING: All the countries interested could collaborate with it through the Internet & high tech. communication facilities.

PARTICIPANTS: Several cross-disciplinary groups for medicine, nursing, technological & public health research, and for all of them at the same time.

EXPECTED RESULTS: It will give a "unique concept" of the clinical, health and laboratory scientific research process, with the main principles, and a "know-how" to investigate on general medicine, nursing, technology & public health. It will also have a strong practical impact on scientific knowledge, research education, medical, nursing, technological & health care.

FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS: Similar integrative programs have been successful in physics and other sciences since the 18-century. In medicine, the Scottish Dr. John Brown was the precursor of this program when he published: "The Elements of Medicine" in 1770. Nevertheless, then, he did not have even one of the 11 millions of scientific medical & health papers, as we do now; such powerful PCs, Internet and high tech. communication; and such developed support discovery systems as ArrowSmith software to inquiry on the Internet scientific databases either.

RESOURCES: The projects individually due to their very unfamiliar wide approach have not been able to receive partners & funds, and not even to publish in paper their fundamental ideas yet.

In the near future, if its author could reach a "state of the art" work environment, in scientific literature, high-tech. communication, and mobility through the world for scientific exchange & collaboration, then the program could begin to be carried out through any of its projects.

The author's Clinical Research Center has two empty houses, and in one of them a modern laboratory in information processing could be equipped, if possible, with even second generation Internet, and high tech. communication facilities. Nevertheless, the carrying out of these projects should be shared with several centers overseas with access to the same means & resources through a special integration science network.

There is an urgent need of partners & sponsors to carry out this unconventional collaborative scientific program for the progress of general medicine, nursing, technology & public health. (At most I will have only 10-15 useful years more)

Please, if you are interested in the program or in some project, you can collaborate directly from any country, or through the non-governmental facilitation framework of the Global Forum for Health Research Foundation in Geneva, Switzerland, or by any other way you could think of and suggest.
