First Clinical Research Speakers Bureau

Welcome to the First Clinical Research Speakers Bureau. Our speakers are available for both community outreach and industry events. First Clinical Research provides the Speakers Bureau as a free service to the public and the clinical research industry.

We have 250+ speakers in 11 countries. Look for us on major search engines as the number one listing for "clinical research speakers."

Speakers for Community Events
Medical science cannot progress without clinical research. Alarmist, one-sided reports in the media discourage public participation in clinical studies. Our speakers are available at no charge to explain clinical research to the public in an objective manner, without taking sides. Find a speaker. If we do not have a speaker in your area, or none of our listed speakers are available, contact us so we can find someone for you.

Speakers for Industry Events
Many of our speakers are experts in their fields and available to speak at industry events. Find a speaker.

Why We Need to Tell Our Story
Three friends - Jim, Bill and Peter -- were walking down the street. Jim said, "I gave blood today." Peter said, "That's terrific! You are a scholar and a gentleman." Bill said, "After a lot of thought, I've decided to donate a kidney." Jim said, "That's beyond terrific! You are a prince among men." Peter said, "Well, I'm not giving blood, and I'm not donating a kidney, but I plan to enroll in a clinical trial tomorrow." Jim and Bill said, "What? Are you crazy?"

"They're all Nazis! Has no one noticed the similarities between Big Pharma and the Nazis? The Nazis also did experiments but they used Jews and other concentration camp prisoners. What, after all, is the difference? Personally, I LOATHE Big Pharma and my fondest wish is that one day they will go to hell where they belong."
