Happy International Clinical Trials Day!

May 20, 2015 | Suzanne Ferguson | @suzannerferguson

International Clinic Trials Day is a day to raise awareness about those researchers who take steps every day to contribute to medical research and find new and better ways to help people. This day is in memory of researcher James Lind who on May 20, 1747 started the first ever clinical trial. Thank you to all who have dedicated their time and commitment to turning possibilities into realities.
