Clinical Trials Day is a well-deserved ‘time out’ to recognize the people who conduct clinical trials and to say “thanks” for what they do every day to improve public health.  This day of celebration also provides our community with a unique opportunity to raise awareness of clinical trials – and of clinical research as a career option – among the greater public.  Clinical Trials Day is celebrated around the world in May to recognize the day that James Lind started what is often considered the first randomized clinical trial aboard a ship on May 20, 1747.  Read the full story here.

On this Clinical Trials Day, Balboa Nephrology Medical Group thanks the clinical researchers at California Institute of Renal Research (CIRR) for continuing to rise to the challenge and give us hope in the battle against kidney disease.
