Clinical Research Participation
Our research team is passionate about helping advance medical science. We continuously recruit volunteers to participate in clinical studies and the experience can be very rewarding. Our research participants have access to private, convenient, comfortable facilities and a staff of experienced, industry recognized professionals. Most of the time volunteers are compensated for time and/or travel expenses.
There are many safeguards in place to ensure patient safety. Our research is overseen by the Food and Drug Administration, and independent review boards that verify minimal risk to volunteers and confirm proper execution of volunteers’ informed consent. Interested participants are encouraged to read our blog post for answers to commonly asked questions.
“I heard about Skin Search through a friend of mine and wanted to participate in a clinical research study to be treated for my condition. My experience with the Skin Search team was excellent, and they were very helpful in teaching me about the process because I didn’t know much about clinical trials before working with them. If people are skeptical about participating, my first response would be that it’s easy, and the team is excellent.”
