Referral partnership

Research support without replacing routine care

When a physician refers a patient, WCR handles study-specific outreach, prescreening, informed consent, screening, and research visits. The referring physician remains an important part of the patient’s ongoing healthcare.

  • Protocol-specific prescreening and investigator review
  • English and Spanish participant communication
  • Respect for continuity of care
  • Communication consistent with authorization and study requirements
  • No guarantee of eligibility or enrollment

What WCR handles after referral

Our research team contacts the patient, explains the opportunity, reviews preliminary criteria, coordinates screening when appropriate, and supports the participant throughout the study.
