Hi Darryl, at CISCRP we like to refer to individuals who volunteer to participate in clinical trials as "Medical Heroes". After all, their gift of participation makes it possible for scientific advancement to occur.

[Darryl in reply to ciscrp_official]

Are you actually using the term Medical Heros in conversation?

[rminnick in reply to Darryl]

At CISCRP, we sure do. And we encourage more people in the public and across the clinical research enterprise to also use this term in everyday conversation.
