Incorporating Dermatologic Clinical Research Into Private Practice: A Review.

Clinical research is beneficial for the continued progression of medicine and the larger body of scientific knowledge. Clinical research can be incorporated into a range of settings, ranging from larger learning institutions to small private practices. With the need for continued advancement of the development of pharmaceutical interventions as well as other forms of clinical understanding, it is advantageous to create an environment where smaller, private practices feel comfortable and guided in establishing clinical research. It can be difficult to find the best methods to incorporate in-house clinical research. This review aims to address this gap in the literature, making the establishment of clinical trials, specifically clinical drug trials, more accessible in dermatology for private practices.
