Screening:

Unless special procedures are required, everything is done in one visit including the reading of informed consent, lab work and physical.  Be sure to pay attention during the consent reading as many doctors will quiz you and can bar you from the study if they feel you don't fully understand what your getting yourself into. 

WCT is very strict with "no shows" and cancellations. 

If you make an appointment with this clinic, make sure you arrive early as they will not serve you if you are late. 

Also, make sure you call to cancel if you know you will not make it.

Volunteer Amenities:

Nice view of the highway.  When you finish the study, you get a campy advertisement T-shirt and a pill bottle filled with M & M's. 

Internet Access:

2 computer rooms with 3 public computers in each with slow and sluggish access.  WI-FI is open and fairly fast though can be bogged down with large groups. 

Housing:

7 dorms with multiple bunk beds in each.  Limited electrical outlets.  You may wish to bring and extension cord and or power strip. 

Parking:

Limited On-site.  Check with study staff for where to park.

Food:

Food is catered in by multiple local restaurants.  Limited menu since most studies are short. 

Payment:

You will typically get most of your money after your last procedure visit, whether that be an in-house stay or out-patient and the rest in the mail two to three weeks later.  If you are a backup who does not stay the first night, you get $25 cash and a Priority card.  If you are a backup and stay the night and are not used for dosing, then you will get $75 cash and a Priority Card.  Priority Cards allow you to get into a study as long as your labs are in range. 

This is not guaranteed!  This is just the way it's been so far but the polices can always change.

Attire:

Bring your own clothes

Camera Policy:

Do not bring a camera-phone or laptop with built in camera.  WCT has a very strict policy and they will take it away at check-in.  They will allow you to use the phone under staff supervision when staff is available.  If you sneak it in and get caught, you may get fined.  Plus there are a lot of people who will turn you in, primarily people who got their phone taken away.  So do yourself a favor, if you plan on doing lots of studies, get a secondary non-camera phone. 

Absolutely no laptops with built-in cameras, even if you have removed the camera. 

Laundry:

Done on longer studies

Additional Information:

Studies are updated on the website as they arrive, so be sure to check often. 

This clinic mostly does bio-equivalency studies which means multiple stays with out-patients.  However, there are longer studies with single stays.   

 

I have done a few studies at this location.  Screening process is fairly fast depending on staffing levels.  Dorms are sparse.  Worldwide is very strict on their no show and cancellation policies.  You may not cancel a screening pretty much for any reason.  If you have more than 3 cancellations in a year, you will get a 6 month ban.
