Well fear not, here at The Clinical Trials Guru we have dozens of real study participant interviews and this video showcases another, thanks to Alan. Let us know what you think.

[Interview] Are Clinical Trials REALLY Different From Medical Practice?
In today’s post, Don interviews Art. Art is a gentleman who has an interesting perspective on clinical trials. According to Art, clinical trials are not very different from medical practice because in medical practice the physician is in many ways, also experimenting with his patients. In these cases, according to Art, the physician is experimenting what works or does not work on his patients. In a clinical trial, while the physician is following a protocol, the entire purpose of the study is to assess how effective and safe a particular drug or device may be. Nonetheless, this is a VERY interesting perspective brought to us by Art.

Dan gets pretty specific here but it is important to keep in mind that each study is unique and therefore has its own compensation differences. Dan provides this video in order to address a question he received regarding study compensation in clinical trials.
