Why an introduction to clinical research?
How do doctors know what will help their patients? How do pharmacists know if a drug will have a bad interaction with your morning glass of grapefruit juice? From over-the-counter painkillers to prescription blood pressure regulators, all the way to assistive devices like pacemakers, we all use drugs and devices that improve our quality of life and health. Yet few of us know much about the process by which we test these drugs and devices to see if they're safe and effective. This introduction to the topic of clinical research will guide you through the basics of clinical research and, we hope, build your confidence in understanding the data and outcomes of such research.
