The gap we exist to close
Medicine only advances as far as the people who take part in studying it. Today, most people are never asked.
of Americans would rather get information about a clinical trial from their own doctor than from anywhere else.

The pills in your cabinet, the insulin in your fridge, the vaccine your child received — none of it reached a pharmacy without people who agreed to go first.
Scientists identify a compound that may treat a condition better than what exists today.
Small groups of volunteers help establish safety and the right dose.
Hundreds to thousands of participants — people like the ones we see in this practice — help show whether it genuinely helps.
Regulators review the evidence. What worked becomes the standard treatment for everyone who follows.
This is where we fit. MedX runs step 3 — the community trials that decide whether a treatment works for real people, in a real primary care practice, in a city as varied as Houston.
