Meet with one of our licensed clinicians

We will first conduct a phone screening with you. If it looks like you or your loved one might qualify for a research study, we’ll set an in-person consultation to move forward with the study and determine qualifications.

Participate in your clinical trial

Aim Trials conducts a variety of studies. Some are out-patient, meaning you come in for appointments and likely take a medication from home. Others are in-patient, meaning you’ll spend some time at our facility. Either way, our clinicians will help you through the various stages of your study.
