Supporting Patients Recovering from Intensive Care Research Group
The SPRING--Supporting Patients Recovering from Intensive Care Research Group—team’s research focus is on understanding and improving outcomes during and after critical illness and injury. SPRING is based in the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine and was established in 2020 by Terri Hough, MD MSc. We work in collaboration with research groups here at OHSU and around the world. There are many opportunities to come work with us—please email spring@ohsu.edu if interested
