Pediatric Research Studies
Our team of over 150 pediatricians and pediatric surgeons recognize the importance of research and the impact it can have on the health and well-being of children everywhere.
Children get the best care because we specialize in healthy futures.
Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist pediatricians and pediatric surgeons specialize in more than 30 areas, which include gastroenterology, urology, neurosurgery, cardiac care and orthopedic surgery. Services also include a special program to help children with obesity, which is the first of its kind in the region.
Our physicians know that medicines and treatments for adults do not always work the same way for children. And when a child suffers from an illness or condition, it affects the whole family. This is why pediatric research is so important – it helps us discover and develop treatment options that are safe and effective for children.
Why you should enroll in a research study
- Study volunteers enrolled in a clinical study receive an extra layer of medical care with frequent follow up and progress assessments
- Study volunteers participating in clinical trials may achieve better outcomes than those not enrolled in a study
- Access to the latest treatments long before they may become widely available
- As a result of your own experience or that of a loved one, you may want to shape the future of health care for yourself and others
