Advantage Disciplines

Cancer Center

BIDMC's Cancer Center is part of the main teaching and research facility at Harvard Medical School. Scientists and doctors have made many cutting-edge discoveries that can enhance clinicians' understanding of the mechanisms of cancer, thereby giving each patient personalized cancer treatment strategies. The center has a multidisciplinary treatment team, including senior doctors and medical researchers, surgeons, radiation therapists, medical oncologists, outstanding nurses, and social workers. Their collaborative efforts are committed to providing innovative and personalized treatment options to patients, as well as thoughtful medical services.

Cardiovascular Research Institute

The Cardiovascular Research Institute was established in 2007. The medical team consists of experts in cardiovascular medicine, cardiac surgery, and vascular and intravascular surgery, working together to provide patients with matching surgical protocols and medical services. Most of these doctors teach at Harvard Medical School, engaging in important research and providing advanced clinical trials and treatment. The Institute has also established a community based network of doctors around eastern and central Massachusetts, as well as New Hampshire, to provide convenient and efficient medical services for patients.

Digestive Disease Center

The digestive center attaches importance to medical care for patients. A multidisciplinary expert team composed of colorectal surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, and nursing doctors provides comprehensive and advanced medical, endoscopic, and surgical treatment options for patients with various types of digestive tract diseases. The center is also a leader in pioneering research and medical education. It has advanced endoscopic techniques such as stent implantation, capsule endoscopy, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). All endoscopic examinations are equipped with narrowband imaging (NBI) technology.

Orthopedic Center

The Orthopedic Center has a wealth of clinical expertise and thoughtful care, providing medical services 24 hours a day/7 days a week. The multidisciplinary medical team includes experts in the fields of joint replacement and reconstruction, geriatric orthopedics, trauma orthopedics, sports medicine, orthopedic oncology, and spinal surgery, providing patient centered medical and surgical care for a range of patients with musculoskeletal injuries and diseases. The orthopedics department also works closely with other BIDMC departments, including rehabilitation medical services and pain clinics. Advanced imaging technology is also used to provide patients with a comprehensive physical examination.

Neurological Medicine Center

The Department of Neurology at BIDMC provides comprehensive neurological services to inpatients and outpatients through many specialized clinics. Each year, the number of inpatients served in the inpatient ward of the Department of Neurology exceeds 1000, 200 receive services from the Neurological Intensive Care Unit, 1200 receive inpatient counseling, 1200 receive counseling from the Emergency Care Unit, more than 10000 receive outpatient patients in the General Neurology Department, and more than 15000 receive psychiatric specialty clinics. The disease spectrum includes epilepsy, stroke, cognitive neuroscience, neuromuscular diseases Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders, Neuroophthalmology, Neurooncology, Neurogenic Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Neurogenetics, Multiple Sclerosis, and Sleep Disorders.

Spine center

BIDMC Spine Center has three major features. One is teamwork. The center has a multidisciplinary treatment team composed of neurosurgeons, orthopedics, physical therapists, pain management experts, neurologists, physical therapists, and radiologists. The medical team provides professional training, as well as comprehensive and considerate medical care, for patients with various types of spinal diseases, and is committed to providing personalized treatment plans for each patient. The center mainly includes two parts: surgical and non surgical spinal treatment. Non operative treatment options are often used for shoulder, neck, and back pain. The key to treatment is to determine the source of pain. And surgery is a better treatment option for a small number of spinal patients. The center will provide patients with animated videos about spinal surgery to help them learn more about their disease and treatment options. The second is convenient and fast. Patients can discuss their diseases with multiple experts in the same location. The third is continuity: the central expert remains open to further discuss whether the treatment plan and care the patient is receiving is reasonable. The center's follow-up care team will also develop a lifestyle suitable for patients after treatment.
