From the SCRS Team
Nobody can deny that clinical trial professionals quite literally changed the entire world for the better during the last 2 years. The sacrifices made by those of us in the profession (and our families that put up with us) were certainly challenging, but meeting challenges is what we do best. Clinical trial professionals continue to achieve the improving, saving, and extending of lives that, strangely enough, we are possibly the only people that can honestly say on our death bed “if only I had spent more time at work”. On this International Clinical Trials Day, despite any geopolitical or business differences we may have, is our moment of unity to call upon the world to celebrate the gift of clinical trials and the professionals who make that gift a reality.
And on this day we do not forget about our clinical trial volunteers… those medical heroes who take on personal risks and burdens for the advancement of medicine in others. They also helped change the world in the past 2 years. From that hallmark randomized clinical trial for scurvy done 275 years ago on May 20 (for which International Clinical Trials Day was selected) to all the way to today, we call upon ourselves and the world to respect and celebrate these volunteers just as much, if not more, than they would celebrate us.

Individuals from the SCRS Membership Committee offered valuable input that has helped us make decisions in the process of tweaking our content and design. If you have any feedback you would like to share for our website content and navigation, please let us know.
