Conducting Clinical Research: A Practical Guide for Physicians, Nurses, Study Coordinators, and Investigators - Tapa blanda

Conducting Clinical Research is a practical, user-friendly how-to manual for medical professionals—physicians, nurses, study coordinators and investigators—who are interested in learning what it takes to carry out clinical trials. Everything is covered—from how drugs are developed to how to attract drug companies to a site, land a study, recruit volunteers, coordinate studies, organize clinical trial activities, and navigate regulatory requirements. Even ethical and social issues are discussed. Comprehensive appendices offer essential background, resources, sample forms and worksheets, and information about careers and training programs.
