Philadelphia Cambridge Healthtech Institute's 3rd Annual Patient Recruitment in Clinical Trials
March 8-11, 2010
Philadelphia, PA

The Study Volunteers - Hearing it from Their Perspective; That is What Really Counts!
11:00 Opening Panel

Moderator: Christine Pierre, President & Chief Executive Officer, Clinical Research, RxTrials
Panelists: Clinical Trial Volunteers

The study volunteer is the person we are all chasing after in this industry, however we seldom stop and ask their opinion with regard to much of what we do. This session will shed light on their opinions, beliefs, and actions which will in turn provide the audience with the gift of true knowledge in how to better recruit and retain study volunteers. During this interactive panel discussion with "real" study volunteers we will discuss with them and gain a deeper understanding of:

• Their motivation to participate in a clinical study
• What are the most effective methods to reach them
• What they want and need to hear to make decisions
• The role of the study staff and so much more!
