the Advancement of Clinical Research in Colombia, Avanzar, was born on July 23, 1999 as an initiative of six Medical Directors of multinational pharmaceutical laboratories with the support of AFIDRO, and as a response to the felt need to promote and encourage a favorable environment for the development of clinical research in the country. It aims to motivate the understanding of this discipline in the medical community, regulatory entities, the pharmaceutical industry, the academy and the general public.<\/p>\n<p>Among the honorary members are Dr. Rodolfo Llin\u00e1s, Dr. Angela Restrepo and Dr. Salom\u00f3n Hakim, for their own merits and for their national and international scientific background.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Avanzar, as an independent and scientific association, has more than one hundred and thirty members from the Academy, Medical Directors of the Pharmaceutical Industry in Colombia, CRO&#8217;s, and Research Centers.
