I was co Investigator on over 40 trials involving Psychiatric patients. I was involved in evaluating the potential subjects for the trial and then enrolling them based on administration of numerous rating scales and eventually following the subjects in the study. Once enrolled they would be monitored for adverse events. In case there was a serious psychiatric adverse event, I would also follow the patient in the inpatient psychiatric unit at Glendale Memorial hospital.
