Our Experts

Worldwide isn’t afraid to innovate, proposing new ideas or better ways. And I must say, that’s one thing we continually observed in the neuro studies we had done.

Small Biopharmaceutical Customer Director of Clinical Operations

Worldwide Clinical Trials is focused on design and appropriate execution and reporting of clinical trial data. The mission is pretty clear…When you deal with big CROs, if we make a change in a process because we think that’s the right thing to do, it’s not enough for them just to do it because we want it. They’re less concerned about that at Worldwide…they’re more concerned about doing the right thing.

Small Biopharmaceutical Customer Director of Clinical Operations

It was an open, honest, but enthusiastic work environment that [Worldwide Clinical Trials] really provided. They paid attention to us as a small company…and they made us feel like one of their more important clients, even if we weren’t, and that was all the difference.

Senior Vice President of Program Operations Small Biopharmaceutical Customer

We really appreciate the strong collaborative partnership we’ve developed with Worldwide which is based on shared accountability. I see us awarding them more studies in the future.
