Episode 3 - From clinical practice to clinical study site

The Business of Eye Innovation podcast takes an in-depth look at clinical trials – looking at the need for them as well as what it takes to be a leading site for these involved studies. Host Victor Benedetti talks with Dr. Vance Thompson, a leading ophthalmologist specializing in cataract surgery and Keeley Puls-Boever who oversees clinical trials at Vance Thompson Vision.

 

Dr. Thompson speaks about the benefit of having clinical trials be a part of his practice in terms of his patients and what it offers to the physicians involved. However, being a successful clinical site presents a number of challenges to any practice. There is a reason that 85% of clinical sites never complete more than a single trial!

 

Ms. Puls-Boever and Dr. Thompson offer expert advice for anyone interested in introducing clinical trials to their practices. They discuss patient compliance and creating the right team to successfully handle the intricacies of this important and exciting part of the medical profession.
