Participating in Parkinson's Clinical Research: The Key to Becoming an Informed Study Volunteer
Featuring Kenneth Getz, M.B.A., author of The Gift of Participation: A Guide to Making Informed Decisions About Volunteering for a Clinical Trial
PDtrials is pleased to announce its first educational webinar (web-based seminar) featuring a national expert who, on January 14th, presented and answered questions on Parkinson's clinical research. We invite you to experience this webinar, whether you are deciding to participate in your first or fifteenth clinical study.
We welcomed Kenneth Getz, M.B.A., author of the book, The Gift of Participation: A Guide to Making Informed Decisions About Volunteering for a Clinical Trial, as presenter.
Ken is the chairman of the Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation (CISCRP), a nonprofit organization that he founded to educate and raise public awareness of the clinical research enterprise, and a Senior Research Fellow at the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development. Ken is also the founder and former CEO of CenterWatch, a leading publisher in the clinical trials industry. A well-known speaker at conferences, symposia, universities and corporations, Ken has published over 100 articles and chapters in peer-review journals and books and is on the editorial boards of Controlled Clinical Trials, Research Practitioner, and the Drug Information Journal and writes a bi-monthly column for Applied Clinical Trials.
Those who joined the live webinar were able to submit questions directly to Ken. He answered as many as possible within the 45-minute Q & A period.
This webinar will be available for viewing for one year on PDtrials.org, and will be removed from this site in January of 2010.
