No Doctor”“Patient Relationship

Using After Trials, communicating with another user, viewing a professional profile, participating in a discussion, or exchanging messages does not by itself create a doctor”“patient relationship or other healthcare-provider relationship between users.

After Trials itself does not establish such a relationship through the Platform.

Users are responsible for maintaining appropriate professional boundaries and complying with the laws, regulations, licensing requirements, and professional standards applicable to them.

Professional Verification

After Trials may verify users using information such as university email addresses, professional identification, credentials, documentation, or other verification methods.
