I have a close friend who has served as an expert witness in federal court. Apparently the process of being an “expert” involves more than what the re-runs of Law & Order would have us know. In the real world, any person that is submitted to the court as an expert is examined thoroughly to establish the qualifications (such as education, training, knowledge, skill, etc.) that are sufficient to accept them as an expert in their particular field. Once these qualifications have been established, the witness will be proffered to the court as an expert.
This got me to thinking about the really expert work that we do in research every day. I’m talking about research in many clinical areas in several sites here in Florida and in Central America. Some of the work that we do is pretty complex and takes experts from more than one scientific discipline.
The education, training, knowledge and skill that we bring to the research process has been demonstrated repeatedly for over two decades. It is this expert status that attracts the most innovative, dynamic and potentially valuable research to our communities. We are sought out by leaders in the pharmaceutical industry to conduct their trials because we know what we’re doing and we get results! From leg pain to migraines, and just about everything in between, we’ve got research covered. And we do it with skillful style. Ask anyone who has participated in a trial with us. Ask us about our qualifications. We are happy to talk about the exciting process that is available to more and more individuals every year. As the late Marvin Gaye would say in the Motown hit from 1964, Can I Get a Witness?........
