“When we think about inclusive clinical trials here at Parexel, we think about including the "whole" patient. We're looking at race and ethnicity, disability status, gender, sex, age, comorbidity, and socioeconomic status. To do this well we have to stay open about trying and learning new things and therefore we are upskilling our teams at all levels.”

“In India, where medical access to smaller and/or more remote cities and villages is a challenge, the Parexel-sponsored COVID-19 vaccine vans made it possible to provide access and get life-saving vaccines out at a grassroots level. Looking at efforts like this fills our company culture with immense pride for what we do for our patients.”
