Collaboration Opportunities for SDOMA Members:
      Over the years, a number of our colleagues have inquired as to how they might work with us and help their patients in research trials. We now have opportunities for participation in: depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, insomnia, schizophrenia, etc. and, as some of you are aware, we are currently doing a nutraceutical study for weight loss in adults classified as pre-diabetic.
      We recently were acquired by an international company, and this has created an opportunity for us to expand our network of physicians. We invite you to call for more information and to tour our dedicated 18,000sq ft research center and sleep laboratory in Kearny Mesa.
