Select a therapeutic area (eg cardiovascular, oncology etc) and create a comprehensive project plan for a drug to be developed in this area. In this plan, identify the four phases of drug development, the approximate number of patients/subjects to be included in each phase and the purpose of each phase. Identify the operational steps (what you need to do) in taking the drug through each phase and what training you would provide the sites so that they would know what their responsibilities were as regard to GCP’s.

For a health outcome or disease that interests you and will be of use to you after you graduate from JMU or graduate school, identify 4 epidemiologic studies to use in a critical appraisal of your thesis statement. All articles should be original (human) research, not reviews or meta-analyses, published in the last 6 years. Use PubMed or CINAHL to identify and locate your articles. (Also, do not use articles that I have used in class or that were used in group presentations.) You should include one cross-sectional study, one case-control study, one cohort study, and one randomized controlled trial.

Imagine that you are working in a clinic that sees a wide variety of patients from all stages across the life span. You have found that when patients leave the clinic with a diagnosis, they often have difficulty describing their condition to family members and/or community members.
