Providing excellent patient care is the driver for all healthcare professionals; in this care paradigm, hearing and responding to the patient voice is critical to success. Among its offerings founded on this 'Patient First' approach, DIA 2014 9th Annual India Conference will present a unique session focused on important ethical considerations affecting patient participation in clinical trials in India: 'Participant Understanding and Informed Consent' will address challenges and barriers to patient understanding of clinical trials and to the application of current pertinent regulations (e.g., videotaped informed consents); it will also explore international standards for data surrounding their clinical trial participation and potential regulations requiring the return of clinical trial results to these patients.
