“Partnering with industry has allowed me to advance my clinical research skills and provide my patients cutting-edge treatment options and excellent care. Being an academic health center, clinical trials distinguish us as global leaders conducting groundbreaking multi-center studies like CREDENCE, SONAR, and the Trial Innovative Network study SPIRRIT-HF. The SONAR trial became one of the top recruitment sites out of 689 participating sites across 41 countries. This trend continues as we exemplify patient enrollment practices for diabetes, kidney, and metabolic disorders.”
