About Compass
LEADING CLINICAL RESEARCH SINCE 1992
Compass Research is a clinical research site built upon three critical elements: patient safety, data integrity, and protocol compliance. Our staff has over 300 years of combined clinical research experience in all fields of medicine. This gives us extensive knowledge of the clinical trial process from beginning to end and the ability to provide quality data to our sponsors.
Through partnerships with private practices around Central Florida, we have created a team of physicians devoted to clinical research who guide their patients through the trial process.
