Ladies and Gentlemen,

Please complete the reading for this week and view the PowerPoint. Our book is outdated on a few things, but we knew that. Most obviously though, related to the most recent drugs released by the FDA. Please review the cite CenterWatch (Link (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.) to find where current clinical trials are being conducted and an up-to-date list of newly FDA approved medications.

Please review ALL of the following links, but base your original post on ONLY ONE. As a group, please make sure that all three topics are explored. (I have opened the discussion so you can see each others' posts to prevent duplication/and promote covering all topics.)

DISCUSSION: Please review the following articles/videos (remember, you only need to post on ONE question so please be thorough):

3. Wall Street Journal's article: Simulators help build better drug trials. This is significant because of how hard it is to get permission to trial a drug on humans.
