 Volunteers
Needed for Research Studies
Progress in health science is made possible by the many volunteers who
participate in clinical research studies, allowing researchers to analyze
vital information about the participants' health. In the Department of
Preventive Medicine, clinical research studies are carefully designed
and closely monitored by trained investigators. Such studies may lead
to discoveries of new, better ways to treat and prevent disease.
The Department of Preventive
Medicine needs eligible volunteers for the studies listed below. For more
information on these studies, please call the recruitment staff,
telephone 901-448-8400 or 1-800-916-2606.
