About CeCR

The Clinical Communication Research Laboratory (CeCR Lab *seeker lab*) is based in Wayne State University's School of Medicine and the Karmanos Cancer Institute's Population Studies Disparities Research Program in Detroit, Michigan, USA. Our membership is comprised of behavioral scientists and practicing clinicians who are focused on clinical communication research, training, and translation.

Mission

The CeCR Lab investigates clinical communication between healthcare providers, patients, and their family members to identify opportunities to improve the quality of their communication and, as a result, the equity and effectiveness of treatment decisions, quality of care, and other patient health outcomes.

Vision

Save more lives by innovatively removing interpersonal misunderstandings and systemic barriers that prevent under-represented groups from fully engaging in their cancer care.
