Additional recommended knowledgeAt the Mayo Clinic, Dr. Montori is currently a principal investigator of the Knowledge and Encounter Research (KER) Unit, a multidisciplnary group of researchers focused on translating the best available research evidence into clinical practice through evidence synthesis (e.g., meta-analysis) and through enhancements in the patient-clinician encounter. The KER UNIT is involved in disseminating and implementing the GRADE Standard for guideline formulation and grading of recommendations in support of specialty medical societies like the Endocrine Society. It also develops decision aids to help patients with chronic conditions, such as diabetes, and their clinicians make choices about therapies that are consistent with the best available research evidence and the goals for life and healthcare of the informed patient. Dr. Montori also serves as director of research and education for the acclaimed SPARC Innovation Program at the Mayo Clinic, the first service R&D laboratory in healthcare[1]. Montori is recognized for promoting the practice of evidence-based medicine in endocrinology and diabetes care. He has edited two volumes on the topic and has published more than 100 papers[2].
