welcome photoVolunteers 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.
