Research Department
In addition to providing high quality primary care, WPA is also committed to pediatric clinical research. WPA serves as a clinical research site participating in research studies to improve the quality of medical treatments in children.
Since establishing our research department in 1999, we have participated in a number of clinical trials with major international pharmaceutical companies. These trials include new vaccines for pediatric & adolescent patients, as well as nutritional products. We are currently recruiting patients for several studies with a focus on infant formula & breastfeeding, adolescent depression, and vaccines to protect against meningitis, human papillomavirus, & influenza. Please contact the Research Department at 781-638-1021 for more information, or stop by after an office visit.
All clinical research trials at WPA are Institutions Review Board approved. Compensation may be provided for time & travel.
