Miller, MD. “With a quest for excellence and a desire to develop new methods aimed toward enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of technology based research systems, HMG is pleased to have acquired the leadership of Dr. David Morin.”
Morin, board certified by both the American Board of Internal Medicine and the Association of Clinical Research Professionals, comes to HMG with more than 25 years of medical experience, much of that devoted to clinical research.
