AbsoluteCARE Medical Center
Director of Research
Ongoing development of a research department. To date, we have been approved and are enrolling for three clinical trials investigating HIV disease within our patient population, focusing on treatment, adherence, quality of life measures & clinical outcomes. Establish agreements with institutions dedicated to expanding research opportunities for our patient population. Partnering with these institutions is one way to expanding research availability. Patients gain access and opportunities to participate in more clinical research, assisting in improving adherence and routine medical care maintenance, in hopes of our impacting the reduction of HIV transmission, while minimizing common inconveniences; such as travel to multiple sites, having multiple blood draws & lack of trust among study staff.
