Last Month's Poll: We asked you what would be the greatest obstacle to volunteering your services in a crisis.

Tufts Center Study

Epocrates is partnering with the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development to help conduct a survey aimed at understanding diversity and disparities among physicians involved with clinical research.

We invite our physician members in the United States to complete this 15-minute survey and provide valuable feedback to policy makers and research professionals.

The study will be published and publicized, but all responses will be anonymous and only reported in the aggregate.

Please click here to complete the survey by Friday, October 13th.

Thank you for your time and valuable feedback.

Please Note: This survey is not affiliated with the Epocrates Honors Panel and participants will not receive an honorarium.
