Medical Heroes

Introducing Medical Heroes Newsletter in a new format that honors and educates the medical heroes found in everyday life. This reflects our commitment to provide ongoing education for people considering clinical trials as well as those who have already been involved. Medical Heroes will feature four continuing sections: Medical Hero in the Spotlight, which profiles a person involved in clinical trials; Getting Involved: Tips and Advice, which contains useful information for people considering volunteering; Your Next Steps, with information telling volunteers how to remain involved with clinical trials activities after they’ve participated; and What’s New in Clinical Research, which will provide timely news and updates about trial results. To receive this free quarterly update by email, please us at info@ciscrp.org.
