Clinical Trials and Medical Research Studies
in Columbus Ohio

How can Physicians get Involved?

Physicians today have enormous time constraints and are often too busy in their private practice to consider working as a clinical research investigator. In fact, only 8% of patients in the United States who participate in clinical trials learn about the drug study from their personal physician. More often they learn about trials through the media (35%), through the internet (11%), or through word-of-mouth.

As a physician you may find it very rewarding to be a part of the process of advancing new medications. The “hands-on” experience of working with medications before they are approved on the market can be invaluable and can help you better prescribe treatment alternatives in your own practice. Not only will your knowledge base expand, but you may also attract new patient referrals to your practice. Being a clinical investigator provides value to your patients as well. They can gain access to new procedures and investigational medications. Finally, you may be able to supplement your income by conducting studies efficiently.
