    I am a huge fan of Brad’s perspective on Clinical Research and life in the trench’s of getting the job done to help get get new medicines to market. Brad’s approach to podcasting is very refreshing and something our industry does not have. It’s nice to have a resource to goto in the clinical trials industry. Love Brad’s content and the guests he has on are fantastic!

50k, Fake "Landmarks," R&D Cuts & Can You Teach Common Sense?
Q: Can that level of common sense, critical thinking and problem solving be taught?
It's debated whether these skills can be taught; while tools can help improve outcomes, some may inherently lack these abilities.
AI, Ads & Awkward Phone Calls with Steve Wimmer
Q: Is the problem finding patients or the site's capacity to onboard them?
The bigger problem is usually the site's ability to onboard and engage with patients effectively, not just finding them.
AI, Ads & Awkward Phone Calls with Steve Wimmer
Q: How do you navigate the dynamic between sponsors and sites?
We assign a liaison to every study and maintain open communication, avoiding overwhelming the sites with multiple contacts.
AI, Ads & Awkward Phone Calls with Steve Wimmer

Del Smith, Acclinate, on Representation & the Future of Clinical Research
Q: Do you feel that trust is getting better or worse?
