Most clinical trials provide short-term treatments for a designated illness or condition but do not provide extended or complete primary health care. In addition, by having the health care provider work with the research team, the participant can ensure that other medications or treatments will not conflict with the protocol. The interviewer at Syneos Health is asking how you would relate directly with a patient making this request.

"I understand that many patients prefer not to see multiple physicians. However, it is important for patients participating in clinical trials to be educated about the role of the staff conducting the trial. For example, the medication or therapy used for a clinical trial usually focuses on a specific illness/disease. It is important for patients to follow up and have continued care with their primary physician. Additionally, providers conducting clinical trials find it beneficial to communicate with the primary physician to work together for the best outcome for the patient."

"I have always been taught that patients are advised to continue regular follow-ups and care for non-trial related medical issues with their primary care provider. Also, the research teams I have been a part of have always made it a priority to collaborate with the primary physician. First of all, it is a professional courtesy. Further, the open line of communication allows the healthcare team and patient to work together more effectively."
