The Research Institute
National Spine Health Foundation established its Research Institute in order to foster a collaborative research environment for students to gain experience and knowledge of the clinical spine health landscape. Our aim is to encourage the development of healthcare-focused students and drive collaboration in spine health research.

Research Fellows
Our Research Fellows assist with getting our research to presentation and help the Foundation promote innovation, proving what treatments work. Our results give patients hope they will get better and back to living their best lives.
Areas of research include stem cell therapy for relief of chronic back pain, use of bone morphogenetic protein in cervical fusion surgeries, robotic-guided spine surgery, lumbar hardware removal, and clinical trial collaborations with industry sponsors. We also offer the opportunity to shadow the nation’s leading spine surgeons.
Internship Objectives
