Three nursing specialties are being used by The PharmaKon to staff its clinical trials: virtual nurses, remote mobile nurses, and patient concierges.

Key Points: 
  • Three nursing specialties are being used by The PharmaKon to staff its clinical trials: virtual nurses, remote mobile nurses, and patient concierges.
  • Over the last two decades few changes have been made to ensure inclusion and diversity in clinical trials, adds Curtis Wilson, VP Clinical Operations at The PharmaKon.
  • Clinical trials are now available to patients who otherwise would not be able to participate in studies.
  • Rural and marginalized communities, LGBTQ, people of color and low-income patients now have an equal opportunity to take part in innovative clinical trials.
