We also are willing to collaborate in research projects. Areas that we already collaborate in include ophthalmology, cost-effectiveness of medical interventions, evidence-based medicine, wound and skin specialties, oncology and nutrition, and infectious diseases.

Over
the last several years we have critiqued hundreds of clinical studies either
informally or as part of a systematic review. In every instance we have
come across problems—some small, but many that can be regarded as
design flaws. We cannot fix design flaws! What we can do, however, is help
you plan a study so that it doesn’t have any.
