Recruitment

Recruitment is a main focus at SMR. Everyone from the investigators to the receptionists are engaged in subject recruitment. We also have a full-time, dedicated recruitment and business development representative.

With the belief that recruitment and retention are key to a successful clinical drug trial, a great deal of effort is put forth by our in-house recruitment team. Patient recruitment is typically achieved by the following means:

•Investigator physician referrals
•Repeat study participants
•Secured subject databases totaling over 13,000 subjects
•Database e-mail blasts
•Advertising: television, newspaper, radio, internet, direct mailing
•Recruitment materials:  flyers, posters, print ads
•Friendly and knowledgeable full-time dedicated patient recruiters

•Website
•Quarterly newsletters
•Physician-to-Patient letters
•Physician-to-Physician letters
•Public relations efforts (i.e. local health fairs, education seminars, health screenings, special events, lunch-and-learns, etc.)
