Our Model
We don't build research sites next to physician offices. We build them inside physician offices. Here's how the MedX embedded model works — and why it outperforms traditional SMOs on every metric sponsors care about.
The Core Idea
Every independent physician practice in America sits on an active, trusted, under-leveraged asset: a patient panel of people who show up, trust their doctor, and meet the exact inclusion criteria sponsors are looking for.
Traditional SMOs build their own standalone sites and spend the first six months of every trial cold-recruiting. MedX does the opposite.
We partner directly with physician-owned practices in the Houston metro. We embed a trained research coordinator inside their clinic. We use AI tools to identify eligible patients within the physician's existing panel. And we compensate the physician through a straightforward revenue share on every enrollment.
Patients trust their doctor first. We build the research on top of that trust — not around it.
MedX coordinators operate from inside the practice — the patient never leaves their trusted environment.
How It Works
A MedX site isn't a building — it's a protocol, a coordinator, and a physician's existing practice, integrated end-to-end.
We identify independent, physician-owned practices in high-value therapeutic areas — internal medicine, endocrinology, cardiology — across the Katy, Cypress, and greater Houston corridor. We structure a straightforward partnership: revenue share on enrollment, no upfront cost, minimal workflow disruption.
A MedX-employed, GCP-trained clinical research coordinator moves into the practice — physical desk space, access to the EMR, integration with the existing clinical workflow. Patients never see a new site or a new face; they see the coordinator as part of their doctor's team.
AI-assisted screening runs against the practice's active patient database to surface eligible candidates for open protocols. The coordinator — working alongside the physician — invites qualified patients during regular visits. No cold calls, no radio ads, no wasted marketing spend.
Why This Outperforms
Every metric that matters to a sponsor improves when research lives inside the practice instead of next to it.
We'd be happy to walk you through our physician network, live coordinator deployments, and available therapeutic capacity.
