Understanding How Theory Becomes Practice in the Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder

Matthew Macaluso, DO

September 13, 2022

Matthew Macaluso, DO, reflects on his mentor, Dr Sheldon Preskorn, who taught him the research-to-market process in drug development and how clinical research translates to clinical practice.

Dr Macaluso asserts that only a firm grasp of the discrete stages of drug development, beginning with study design and extending to assessment of results, can support a proper understanding of evidence-based medicine, which in turn allows clinicians to deliver effective therapy to patients.
