In this podcast, Dr. Elan Cohen, Principal Investigator and Lead Psychometric Rater at Hassman Research Institute, talks about what a clinical trial is and what makes a good clinical trial participant, as well as the reasons to participate in clinical research trials including: to get access to experts in specific conditions; to learn about your condition; for access to free care before, during, and even after the trial; and ultimately, the main reason: to help others with this condition and help find new treatments.
