MedAvante's Mission:

MedAvante's mission is to bring better and safer CNS drugs to market faster by delivering high quality assessments for clinical trials.

MedAvante is a pharmaceutical services organization whose commitment and passion is to improve the science of psychiatric drug trials. The cornerstone of our success is MedAvante's Centralized Expert Ratings Services through which highly trained interviewers administer clinical assessments for research studies via videoconference and telephone. Centralizing the assessments increases the precision, accuracy, reliability and quality of the administration of psychiatric diagnostic and symptom assessments.

MedAvante's scientific leadership includes thought leaders in psychiatric assessment and clinical trials from academia and leading global pharmaceutical companies. Each MedAvante senior scientist has engaged in funded research examining improved assessment methodologies, has authored psychiatric scales or has led efforts to update current scales. Our senior scientists train site-based raters for our Global Rater Training Program-Rater Readiness^TM in order to ensure research quality for study sponsors.
