Phase I Clinical Research Team

Members of the Phase I Team carefully evaluate their patients for potential treatment on clinical trials. Members of this program represent different clinical sub specialties and work as a team by discussing together best treatment options for individual patients and the progress of such patients while on study. This activity takes place at bi-monthly Thursday afternoon meetings. Also discussed are potential new trials and program progress.
