3% of Physician Participate in Clinical Research

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Dr. Doctor, we dive into one of the most overlooked challenges in healthcare and clinical research — access.Only 3% of physicians participate in clinical research, leaving 97% disconnected from trials. At the same time, less than 5% of eligible patients ever enroll in a clinical study. These aren’t isolated statistics — they are directly connected.When physicians aren’t engaged in research, patients never hear about opportunities that could change or even save their lives.We break down what’s really driving these numbers, why patient enrollment continues to lag, and how physician awareness and access play a critical role in closing the gap.This conversation isn’t just about research — it’s about access, equity, and the future of healthcare delivery.If we want better outcomes, we have to build better systems.Tune in as we connect the dots between physicians, patients, and clinical trials — and discuss what it will take to move the industry forward.Support the showStay connected with us—follow @Dr. Doctor Podcast on LinkedIn, Instagram, X, and TikTok!
