Description

Family Care Research Program is a collaborative, interdisciplinary effort of faculty from the Michigan State University Colleges of Nursing and Human Medicine and the Department of Family Practice. The program's primary goal is to learn how patients and families face the burden of providing care, primarily for patients with cancer, in a transforming health care system; to better understand how families learn to care; and to disseminate this scientific knowledge and influence health care reform and policy.
