Abstract
Credentialed veterinary technicians are often underutilized in clinical research. Additionally, there are limited prospects for career advancement in positions that maintain a clinical-facing component. In human medicine, clinical research coordinators are leveraged to achieve efficient and effective clinical studies. These roles contribute to improving recruitment, retention, and quality. Leveraging these roles in veterinary medicine can help increase the advancement of veterinary care while also allowing for the development of new career paths for credentialed veterinary technicians. However, significant investment is needed for these roles to be effective; a cost-benefit analysis is necessary for hospitals aiming to establish clinical trial centers.
期刊介绍：
The American Journal of Veterinary Research supports the collaborative exchange of information between researchers and clinicians by publishing novel research findings that bridge the gulf between basic research and clinical practice or that help to translate laboratory research and preclinical studies to the development of clinical trials and clinical practice. The journal welcomes submission of high-quality original studies and review articles in a wide range of scientific fields, including anatomy, anesthesiology, animal welfare, behavior, epidemiology, genetics, heredity, infectious disease, molecular biology, oncology, pharmacology, pathogenic mechanisms, physiology, surgery, theriogenology, toxicology, and vaccinology. Species of interest include production animals, companion animals, equids, exotic animals, birds, reptiles, and wild and marine animals. Reports of laboratory animal studies and studies involving the use of animals as experimental models of human diseases are considered only when the study results are of demonstrable benefit to the species used in the research or to another species of veterinary interest. Other fields of interest or animals species are not necessarily excluded from consideration, but such reports must focus on novel research findings. Submitted papers must make an original and substantial contribution to the veterinary medicine knowledge base; preliminary studies are not appropriate.
