We are a unique international organization dedicated to the development and dissemination of knowledge about the design, conduct and analysis of clinical trial methodologies. Working towards these goals, in our Society you will find physicians, nurses, data managers, programmers, statisticians, coordinators, epidemiologists, policy experts, ethicists, regulators, and others who identify themselves as trialists. And we come from variety of environments: academia, the pharmaceutical and device industries, government agencies, medical groups and centers, and clinical research entities. It is this very diversity of constituencies and work environments that enriches our Society and makes it unique.
Through our journal (Clinical Trials), our website (which you have found) and our annual meetings in May, you can learn (and perhaps teach!) about emerging trial methods and issues, and participate in discussions with other trialists.
Our annual meetings are particularly exciting events, as noted below. This past May in Vancouver we had over 600 trialists attending from all over the world! And we are looking towards another stimulating meeting in Miami next May (May 20-23rd - put it on your calendar!).
If you are already a member, we invite you to volunteer to work on the many committees and task forces we have. Feel free to contact me for more information at chappell@biostat.wisc.edu.
And if you are not a member yet, we hope you will join us in this adventure to foster the energy and creativity of clinical trials! There is information on this page regarding how you can join. |
