before a new mecication is officially released on the market it has to go through som many avenues before being approved. On of them is clinical research in which nurse or doctor coordinates the researsh bu actively finding those to taked the medication for a set determined amount of time. They keep records of all of the affects the medication has done as well as any possible side affects that occur and subit the data to the FDA. My ex-husbands current wife is clinical research coordinator and does quite well for herself.

In medicine, a clinical research is a type of research study. The most commonly performed clinical trials evaluate new drugs, medical devices, biologics, or other interventions on patients in strictly scientifically controlled settings, and are required for regulatory authority (in the USA, the Food and Drug Administration; in Canada, Health Canada; in the EU, the European Medicines Agency; in Japan, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (Japan)) approval of new therapies. Trials may be designed to assess the safety and efficacy of an experimental therapy, to assess whether the new intervention is better than standard therapy, or to compare the efficacy of two standard or marketed interventions. The trial objectives and design are usually documented in a clinical trial protocol.
