The Changing Landscape of Clinical Trials

Behind every therapeutic breakthrough are clinical research professionals who are driven by a powerful purpose: advancing treatments that transform patient lives. ³ÉÈË´óƬ, Kingston Health Sciences Centre and Providence Care are grateful that so many investigators, coordinators, and trialists call these institutions their home. Clinical Trials Day, held on May 20 each year, gives us an opportunity to recognize and celebrate them and their accomplishments.

Please join us for a virtual event discussing the Changing Landscape of Clinical Trials. Speakers representing the key parties in clinical trials – sponsors, ethics boards, investigators, coordinators, and participants – will present their perspectives on this theme.  A panel discussion will follow.
