In this issue, we return to the life science industry. And while we'll address clinical trial growth numbers, industry resources, and upcoming events, our feature article will hone in on project management practices, which are critical to any organization involved in large-scale projects — be it drug development or chipset manufacturing.

And, if you're interested in medical tourism and the growing trend to travel for treatment, be sure to read our Events section for a special reader discount to attend the 2nd Annual World Medical Tourism & Global Health Congress, which arrives in Los Angeles, CA this October.

As always, please send us your story ideas, share Global Communicator with a friend or colleague, or request more information about our e-Publication.
