Here MAC's highly experienced and professionally employed staff focus solely on conducting high quality clinical studies.  Working in this way offers Sponsors significant efficiencies and savings across study timelines and costs by achieving more patients, more quickly across fewer sites.

MAC’s operating and quality systems ensure that the highest quality clinical data is provided to monitors on a multi-site studies basis, where greater numbers of patients are recruited, often more quickly across MAC’s Sites than can be achieved at other sites. MAC’s business focus is to recruit patients on budget and on time.
