Superior results. No surprises. No excuses.
We manage the recruit and support moderators, researchers, and corporate clients to maximize project success.
We go above and beyond to complete projects on time and on spec.
Personal Oversight
All projects are personally supervised by Andrew Udell, president of Vital Connections, to ensure you get the quality of service you need.
A Network of Superior Facilities
We arrange in-facility, remote and hybrid sessions, with facility access across major Canadian and US markets.
A Concise Schedule Flow
Client and moderators benefit from concise scheduling to maximize efficiency.
Adaptable Recruiting
Clients value our ability and willingness to cater to their specific needs, including:
- Continued effort for difficult to recruit respondent types and high priority participants
- Supplying fresh participants whenever possible
- Flexibility on pricing, including lower than normal honoraria where appropriate, while recommending higher honoraria only when necessary
Continuous Communication
We Communicate, So You’re Never Surprised. That's why our policy is to over-communicate during difficult recruits, including updates when there has been no progress to report. From project inception, we offer our on-the-ground experience to help you avoid problematic participants.
American Healthcare Panels
To support U.S. recruitment, Vital Connections combines multiple healthcare professional data sources with our own recruitment, screening and project management to identify and recruit qualified participants.
That gives you reach to more than 600,000 specialist physicians in areas such as neurology, dermatology, psychiatry, and rheumatology, as well as more than 100,000 general practitioners.
Gain valuable insights from more than 4,000 nurses and specialists in areas such as anesthesiology, cardiology, endocrinology, and psychiatry.
In addition, access more than 30,000 American allied healthcare professionals including Audiologists, Orthodontists, Phlebotomists, Social Workers and Sonographers.
Canadian Physician Panel
More than 15,000 Canadian physicians and specialists, built and maintained by us since 2006.
Other Canadian Panels
Take advantage of our Canadian specialist panels and gain access to nurses, diabetic nurse educators, pharmacists, dentists, and dental hygienists.
These panels include more than 17,000 pharmacists and 17,000 dentists.
Patient and Consumer Research
Alongside our healthcare professional panels, we can source general-population and common-condition patients for Canadian studies.
Our specialty is healthcare professional recruitment. For low-incidence and rare-disease patient work, we will tell you honestly whether we are the right partner before you commit to a timeline.
Long-Standing Relationships
We book and manage sessions at premier research facilities in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax and other major Canadian markets, and across the United States, in facility, remote, or hybrid.
