Clinical Research
At PHSU, we are committed towards improving patient care and therapeutic outcomes. Our ambulatory clinical research center (CAIMED) is one of the largest clinical research centers in Southern Puerto Rico.
At CAIMED we conduct clinical trials, which allow researchers to determine how safe and effective a new drug or treatment is.
Our clinical studies involve patient volunteers, and allow us to improve patient care, provide access to the latest treatment options, and reduce the financial burden of health care.
Clinical research aims to provide useful information that will improve the future of medicine and patient care.
For more information on specific terms used in clinical research, please go to the Glossary of Terms section in ClinicalTrials.gov.
How to volunteer
Volunteer participants are essential for clinical research to happen. If you would like to improve medical care for future generations, or if you have a certain disease or illness; experience with a certain disease through friends or family, or have an interest in science, perhaps you could become a volunteer.
You have a choice to volunteer for a clinical study. If you agree to volunteer, our highly qualified staff will inform you on the study, and the potential risks involved. You will decide if you want to participate, and once you are in a study, you may leave it at any time.
