With increased global competition for clinical trials, staying in business and remaining competitive at the site level has been challenging over the last several years. Complex protocols and budget issues add to sites’ inability to remain profitable. This boot camp was designed for site personnel to address the state of the industry, trends impacting sites and highlight ways to overcome these recent challenges. Industry leaders will share insight to help sites position for future work. Moderators will facilitate this communication to allow sites an open exchange of best practices and innovative solutions to patient recruitment, budgets and contracts, and FDA audit readiness.
