It is important for patients to be well informed before beginning any treatment whether it is routine care by a physician or participation in a clinical trial. The interviewer wants to know that you have an understanding of what the patient's expectations of care should be and that you are comfortable with sharing that with the patient.

"I believe in making sure that patients are educated regarding any time of care they are going to receive. For patients participating in trials, it is important to assure them that participants work with a research or clinical trial team, including doctors, nurses, social workers, and other health care professionals. Prior to the trial, the research team will check the health of the participant and review any special instructions for trial participation. As the trial begins and throughout its duration, the research team will administer treatment and monitor the participant on a regular basis to determine effectiveness and side-effects of the treatment."

"The most important thing is to make sure that patients are aware of the objective of the trial. For example, if a new drug is being tested, the objective would be that the drug is effective in treating the disease it was designed for with little to no ill-effects. Also, assuring the participant that the research team will work closely with them throughout the duration of the trial. Many patients are also relieved to know that the research team will work closely with their primary physician throughout the trial."
