What is the long-term outlook for the clinical research industry?
As the demand for new and improved therapies escalates, the need for rigorous and safe evaluation of potential new products and techniques also increases. Persons trained in clinical research methods are a necessary and valuable component of any system whose goal is to produce or evaluate new methods, diagnostics and therapies for the future. The long-term success of the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and healthcare industries is dependent upon their abilities to introduce and maintain the use of new products. Beyond the evaluation of new products, economic and/or societal evaluations of ongoing and future therapeutic strategies are becoming a likely and necessary element of future clinical research studies.
