One way in which research is approached in academia is that professors, post-docs, or grad students have the flexibility in developing there own idea or project. If the idea is worthy enough they are able to receive grants and carry on with their project. As for working in the industry, the company has their own ideas on what they want to figure out and produce for the healthcare industry, and they produce their products more efficiently. Another approach to research in academia would be that to get their research known they have to complete a publication. Research in academia means nothing if the whole story isn’t available for others to understand, especially if you want to receive credit for your findings. In industry, they don’t necessarily have to worry about publications, but instead they have to make sure their project is complete depending on management and when they expect it to be done. I think that the approach in industry is better because, you are actually producing products and helping people quicker. In academia, although they are trying to make a difference, the process is a lot slower, and it takes longer to get their product to help people.
