Is clinical research right for you?
In clinical research, patients with specific conditions volunteer to try a new medication or medical device that is evaluated for effectiveness of treating their disease. These medications and devices are studied by scientists and healthcare specialists, as well as an institutional review board (IRB) to ensure the study is safe and ethical for patients.
At AOCC, we are growing our research department and already are enrolling our patients into our studies.
