Praise for this book:

Readable, relevant, and interesting...this book cuts through jargon, recapitulates key concepts, and clarifies with current examples from the literature...recommend[ed].--Doody's Review

A thoughtful introduction and guide to clinical research for surgeons. The book is especially useful because surgical research differs from drug and device research in matters like control treatments, blinding, regulation, and funding. --Norman M. Goldfarb, Journal of Clinical Research Best Practices, August, 2012.
