Ann Muldrow is the manager of our research center. She has over 10 years of experience in clinical research with Rocky Mountain Center for Clinical Research. She maintains certification as a clinical research coordinator and registered respiratory therapist. Our research coordinators are skilled in the process of conducting clinical research under good clinical practice guidelines. They provide the highest quality patient care and research data through their attention to detail and extensive medical knowledge. The credentials of our research personnel include certified clinical research coordinators, respiratory therapists, medical assistants, a physician assistant, and a site administrator. Our staff is experienced in remote data entry and fax assisted monitoring.

We draw patients from the Denver metro area, which has over 2 million people. It includes the city and county of Denver and 6 surrounding counties. Our population database reflects the diverse ethnic background and varied education levels and ages of this large metropolitan area. For studies requiring specific populations outside of our site’s computerized database, we collaborate with experienced sub-specialists. This ensures adequate enrollment and specialized management of those studies.

Our site primarily utilizes the services of a central IRB. A local IRB is available but does not have jurisdiction over our research center. We strive to continually improve our research skills by taking advantage of the educational grants we have been awarded by sponsors for our exemplary work. We value the opportunity to provide you with the best research possible and are committed to excellence in all services we provide.

Rocky Mountain Center for Clinical Research is associated with Rocky Mountain Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, PC. This is a medical group practice specializing in the diagnosis, treatment, and disease management of pulmonary and sleep disorders. (Practice phone: 303-425-2777)
