Happy Clinical Trials Day! ⚕️
Today is a global celebration for the role clinical trials play in medical discovery and to honor the many people who work to improve outcomes through clinical trials studies.
Clinical trials are research studies that help medical professionals improve the detection and treatment of illnesses. Our clinical trials program enrolls client-owned pets to evaluate the effectiveness of new drugs, find novel uses of old drugs, or investigate new approaches to surgery and/or radiation therapy to treat cancer. Many of the standard treatments used today are the result of clinical trials. We learn valuable information from every patient, and we use this information to improve their care as well as the care of future patients, both pets and people.
The FACC Clinical Trials team includes (pictured from left to right):
⚕️ Becca Hill – Trials Coordinator
⚕️ Dr. Megan Gutwillig, Clinical Trials Intern
⚕️ Dr. Kristen Weishaar, Clinical Trials Director
⚕️ Kris Ibis, Clinical Trials RVT
Clinical trials are an important way that we learn more about cancer and develop more effective ways to treat it.
We might be biased but our Clinical Trials team is the BEST!
